July Poetry School is an important realistic poetry school in the history of modern literature in China. The rise of the July Poetry School in the bonfire of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression spanned two historical stages: War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. It is the longest-lasting and most influential literary school in this period.
Under the guidance and organization of Hu Feng's theory, the July Poetry School, with Ai Qing and Tian Tian as pioneers, gathered a large number of "new people" who created poems and named them after July magazine. Publications such as Hope, Poetry Ken, Poetry Creation, Earth and Breath are also their important semi-fan magazines and publishing fields.
The development of July Poetry School;
The July Poetry School experienced a process of deepening development and growth, which can be roughly divided into three consecutive stages. The first stage is from September 1937 to September 194 1, marked by the publication and final publication in July. In July, the poet shared the common enemy with the people of the whole country, and emphatically expressed his passion for fighting and his grief and indignation at witnessing the devastation of the motherland and people.
Under the political pressure, the works of this period turned from praise and hope to satire and exposure. Although the poetic style of this school has developed and changed in different periods, its basic creative tendency is always the same, insisting on the combination of poetry and people, and based on the reality of the times, creating works full of historical sense, sense of responsibility and strength.
