There are three important schools of poetry in the history of China's new poetry development: liberalism, symbolism and metricalism. I would like to ask about the artistic characteristics of these three schools.
The philosophical basis of symbolism art is subjective idealism. On the subject matter, it shows the decadent thoughts and feelings of some intellectuals at the end of the century and their pursuit of morbid "fanaticism of mind and function"; In terms of artistic methods, it develops the viewpoint of "correspondence theory" put forward by mystical philosophers, regards all natural things as a "symbolic forest" that can convey all kinds of information to people, and emphasizes conveying the poet's inner subtle world by means of suggestion, comparison and association.

While advocating the rhyme of modern poetry, it emphasizes the use of poetic language and vocabulary to embody the artistic conception of literary beauty in poetry creation.
