《语丝》创刊于1924年，该刊由鲁迅等人发起，北京大学新潮社编辑的刊物，北新书局发行，周刊，共260期，1924年11月17日发行第1期。1924年11月17日至1927年10月22日的第1期至第156期由周作人编辑。1924年10月出至154期杂志被奉系军阀查封，从北京迁往上海，后由上海语丝社继续编辑出版。自1924年12月17日4卷第1期始由鲁迅编辑，到1929年1月7日第52期截止，后第5卷1—26期由柔石编辑，27-52期由李小峰编辑，到1930年3月10日第52期出版后刊物停刊。
刊物提倡自由思想，独立判断及和美的生活，介绍研究文学创作及艺术思想，发表学术论著，主要刊载散文杂文，亦刊登小说诗歌创作和学术论文，如发刊辞所言：“周刊上的文字大抵以简短的感想和批评为主，但也兼采文艺创作以及关于文学美术和一般思想的介绍与研究，在得到学者的援助时也要发表学术上的重要论文。”刊物刊载了鲁迅与周作人的大量小品文与杂文，此外鲁迅的《野草》也刊登在杂志上。杂志亦刊载顾颉刚的疑古史学的论文。尽管语丝社同仁的思想和艺术主张不尽一致，但它们的文章有共同的风格：排旧促新，放纵而谈，古今并论，庄谐杂出，简洁明快，不拘一格，因此形成了“语丝体”。
Yusi “was founded in 1924, initiated by Lu Xun and others, and edited by the New Trend Society of Peking University. It was published weekly by Beixin Book Company, with a total of 260 issues. The first issue was issued on November 17, 1924. The first to 156th issues from November 17, 1924 to October 22, 1927 were edited by Zhou Zuoren. From October 1924 to 154 issues, the magazine was seized by the Fengshi warlords and relocated from Beijing to Shanghai. It was later edited and published by Shanghai Yusi Society. Starting from December 17, 1924, the first issue of the fourth volume was edited by Lu Xun, and ending on January 7, 1929, the 52nd issue. Later, the 1-26 issues of the fifth volume were edited by Roushi, and the 27-52 issues were edited by Li Xiaofeng. After the 52nd issue was published on March 10, 1930, the publication ceased.

The publication advocates free thinking, independent judgment, and a harmonious life, introduces and studies literary creation and artistic ideas, publishes academic works, mainly publishes essays and essays, as well as novels, poetry, and academic papers, As stated in the speech, “The text in the weekly magazine is mostly based on brief reflections and criticism, but it also incorporates literary and artistic creation, as well as introduction and research on literature, art, and general ideas. When receiving assistance from scholars, important academic papers should also be published.” The magazine published a large number of essays and essays by Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren, and Lu Xun’s “Wild Grass” was also published in the magazine. The magazine also publishes Gu Jiegang’s paper on suspicious ancient historiography. Although the ideas and artistic propositions of colleagues in Yusi Society are not entirely consistent, their articles share a common style: eliminating the old and promoting the new, indulging in discussions, discussing both ancient and modern, being solemn and harmonious, concise and lively, and not limited to one style, thus forming the “Yusi Style”.
