《孔乙己》是鲁迅先生在“五四”前夕继《狂人日记》之后写的第二篇白话小说,是又一篇讨伐封建制度和封建文化的战斗檄文。关于小说主人公孔乙己的名字由来,小说写道:“因为他姓孔,别人便从描红纸上的‘上大人孔乙己’这半懂不懂的话里,替他取下一个绰号,叫作孔己己。”其中“上大人孔乙己”,课本注释为:“旧时通行的一种描红纸,印有‘上大人孔乙己’这样一些笔划简单的字,三字一句,‘上大人孔乙己’,是似通非通的进行尊孔教育的话。”笔者认为:课本这样注释虽说得通,但过于简单化了,而且欠准确。所谓“描红纸”是旧时供初学儿童练习写毛笔字用的,纸上印有红色楷书,初学写字的儿童用毛笔依照红字的笔画描写黑字。最普遍的印字是:“上古大人,孔氏一已,化及三千,七十二氏。”为了顺口好读,容易记忆,有的版本依照《三字经》修改为:“上大人,孔乙已,化三 Kong Yiji is the second vernacular novel written by Mr. Lu Xun on the eve of the May 4th Movement following the Madman’s Diary.

The so-called ”red paper“ is used for beginners to write brushstrokes and characters. The red seals are printed on the paper. Children who begin to write use the brush to describe the black characters in the strokes of the red characters. The most common type of printing is: ”Ancient adults, Confucius has been, and three thousand, seventy-two.“ To be easy to read, easy to remember, some versions were modified according to the ”Three-character Classics“: ”The adults, Kong Yi B Has, Huansan
