re  ethnic  minorities, immigrants  and  original  inhabitants.  In  the  world  dominated  by  western  countries, they  struggle  for  right  of  speech  and  self-interpretation,  narrate  life  of  their  own nation with an “unfiltered” voice, and keep a real record of colonialism.  Accordingly,  post-colonial  literature  differs  from  the  orthodox  literature  of Europe  and  America  because  it  describes,  from  the  standpoint  of  the  colonized,  the predicament  in  colonies,  uncovers  the  cultural  hegemony  from  colonists  and  tries  to revitalize  national  culture,  which  has  already  been  margined.  The  post-colonial literature  consequently  focuses  mainly  on  such  themes  as  oppressed  women  in  non-mainstream culture, cultural phenomenon during colonial period, loss and yearning of local culture, equal right of speech, “the other”, “civilized savage” and so on.

B. The Tradition of Symbolism in the Post-colonial Novels  
Symbolism  rose  at  the  beginning  of  the  20th  century  and  became  prevalent  in modernism poems. It aims to express the theme by distinctive, accurate, implicit, and highly-concentrated symbols and dissolve the poets’ momentary thoughts and feelings into the verses. Symbolism attempts to isolate a single image to reveal its essence.  It stresses  that  subject  matters  should  be  chosen  freely,  which  deals  with  single, concentrated moments of experience.

Truth is revealed by a physical object.  The  movement  is  influenced  greatly  by  the  Chinese  imagist  poetry.   However,  the symbolism in the 20th century differs itself from the traditional Chinese poetry in the following  aspects.  Chinese  traditional  poetry  is  influenced  by  the  Chinese  classical Philosophy and aesthetics, which emphasize and describe oneness of man and nature. Hence,  Chinese  traditional  poetry  emphasizes  construction  of  nature  in  a  natural manner,  while  the  western  symbolism  is  based  on  Bergson’s  Intuitionism  and Philosophy of life. Pound defined an image as an object which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time, and later he finished his definition when he stated that an image was a cluster of fused ideas, endowed with energy.
