July Poetry School is an important realistic poetry school in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and Kuomintang-controlled areas during the War of Liberation, named after July edited by Hu Feng. The representative poets are Ai Qing, Tian Tian and Lu Chen, Lv Yuan and Han Niu. Taking July, Hope and Dirt as their positions, they emphasized the unity of subject and object, and the integration of history and individuals in poetry, and created more free poems, mainly political lyric poems. They published poetry and literature in July. In the vigorous general style of revolutionary realism, this school also shows the characteristics of poets full of personality. Hu Feng's Singing for the Motherland, Han Niu's Ordos Grassland and Lu Li's Dirt are the representative works of the July Poetry School.
July novels: magazines such as July and Hope sponsored by Hu Feng had great influence on the progress of literary and art circles in Kuomintang-controlled areas during the Anti-Japanese War. Together with novel writers such as Lu Ling and Qiu Dongping, it advocates reflecting the psychological state of a living generation under the banner of realism. The works are full of flesh-and-blood feelings about life and intuition about people's hearts. In a sense, these novels can better reflect Hu Feng's theoretical proposition than the July Poetry, and most of them are compiled into July Wencong, and Hu Feng personally prefaces them, so they are called "July Poetry". His masterpiece is Lu Ling's The Rich Boys.
