What does symbolism mean?

Symbolism, a school of literature. 1September 886 15 Jean Morais published the Manifesto of Symbolism, which elaborated the creative principles of symbolism in detail and became the symbol of the birth of symbolism school. It opposed the panas school that paid too much attention to describing the beauty of modeling at that time, and advocated expressing personal secret feelings and the "only truth" hidden behind ordinary things. For this reason, symbolists have changed the language of poetry, regrouped common words to make them have new meanings, attached importance to the musicality of poetry and pursued a confusing and obscure style. The period of 1886- 189 1 was the period when French symbolism poetry flourished. His main works are Malarme's poems and essays and Lafore's Flowers of Goodwill. Since then, many symbolist poets have chosen different directions to develop, and symbolism as a school no longer exists. But as a trend of thought and artistic style, its influence is very far-reaching. For example, the works of French poets Valerie, German Rilke and Irish Ye Zhi in the 20th century all have different degrees of symbolism.
