Song Dynasty literati Su Shi's ci poem 'The Charm of the Courtesan Niannu' is representative of the bold and unconstrained ci faction, and is also called 'Recalling the Past on the Red Cliffs'. The first section uses the landscape to set the tone, from the gurgling flow of the river we think of the historical figures who have disappeared in the river of time. It is said that the red cliffs were the site of an ancient battle during the Three Kingdoms Period. At that time Zhou Yu triumphed from a position of weakness here, forcing the Cao Wei to retreat and ensuring the continuance of the triumvirate states.

如果一行诗句可以代表一种诗派，我就愿举这行诗为象征诗派艺术的代表。每次念及，我不禁想起法国现代画家昂利·卢梭（Henri Rousseau）的杰作“沉睡的吉普赛人”。

If one line of poetry can represent a poetic movement, I would nominate this line to represent Symbolism. Each time I recite this line, I can't help but think of 'The Sleeping Gypsy', a masterpiece by contemporary French artist Henri Rousseau.

我说这行诗是象征诗派的代表，因为它具体而又微妙地表现出许多哲学家所无法说清的话；它表现出人性里两种相对的本质，但同时更表现出那两种相对的本质的调和。
wǒ shuō zhè xíng shī shì xiàngzhēng shī pài de dàibiǎo ，yīnwèi tā jùtǐ ér yòu wēimiào de biǎoxiàn chū xǔduō zhéxué jiā suǒ wúfǎ shuōqīng dehuà ；tā biǎoxiàn chū rénxìng lǐ liǎng zhǒng xiāngduì de běnzhì ，dàn tóngshí gèng biǎoxiàn chū nà liǎng zhǒng xiāngduì de běnzhì de tiáohé 。
The reason I say this line of poetry is representative of Symbolism, is because in a concrete but subtle way, it shows that which many philosophers have been unable to explain clearly; It shows the essences of the two opposing forms of humanity, but, at the same time, it shows the harmony between the essences of these two opposing forms.
