In the tough years of war, the National Southwestern Associated University created and remained a special campus culture in austere situation by insisting the culture idea of"academic independence and spiritual freedom". Impregnated and gestated by campus culture, the poets group of National Southwestern Associated University was formed and grown. It was more important that the special campus cultural improved the characters of poems. The poets kept on holding spiritual freedom and sublimation in the independent campus culture. The poems broke the limit of anti-Japanese war, national emotion, personal emotion and wartime utilitarianism of culture. In the poems, not only the speculative intellectuality but also the consciousnesses of text experiment displayed the spiritual freedom which resisted the secularity. In the difficult situation, National Southwestern Associated University formed the spiritual tradition of itself by keeping the spirit of fortitude and supereminence, persisting in pursuance of culture and insisting of spirit. In this spiritual atmosphere, the poets kept on creating and pursuing the culture to change the hardship of life and experience of war into the thinking and experience of life with metaphysical. These poets displayed a deep spirit direction.The second chapter of this paper investigated the literature education and literary activities of National Southwestern Associated University. The poets group was mainly composed of student poets. The study process of these poets laid a foundation of literary vision and literary character of themselves. Most of the student poets came from Literature Institute Through investigation of the curriculum design and literature teaching in Chinese Department and Foreign Language Department, we offered an effective breakthrough point of studying the poems, which was written by the student poets. In the aspects of education of literary accomplishment and expansion of literature visual fields, all of the classical literature research of Chinese Department and western literature introduction of Foreign Language Department merged into the poems written by school poets. This phenomenon also determined the characteristics of poems. At the same time, both Chinese Department and Foreign Language Department had the tradition of importance attachment to creation of new literature. This tradition made literature education and literature creation connect with each other tightly. Another distinct manifestation of dense literature atmosphere was that there were so many literature communities in campus. These literature communities created an effective communication platform to promote activities of literary creation such as poetry creation. This paper emphatically investigated these literature communities, such as Nanhu poetry society, High-land Art Society, Nanhuang Art Society, Dongqing Art Society, Accumulation Art Society, Art society, New Poetry Society and so on.

Combining the age tribulations and individual experiences, the poets converted the extensive culture resource, especially the exotic literature, into the spirit resource of themselves, based on the free campus space and independent culture. Then, they obtained a vivid modern consciousness and experience. Furthermore, many new characteristics were introduced into the modern poem by virtue of the poetic translation and expression. This may be represented from three aspects: the first was the inspection for modern"selfhood", the second was the peculiar experience and description for the love, and the third was the description and reflection for the war. In these poems, the inspection for modern"selfhood"not only established new field of poem, but also successfully responded the poetics topic, in which the new poem should include extensive experience of modern history. In addition, the poems written from National Southwestern Associated University were filled with the divisive, worried, nihilistic and even desperate description about the love. These compositions indicated the extent and the depth for the modern life experience of the poets, and also brought up a bran-new feature for the new poem. Furthermore, the poets added up some reflections and common cares on the description about the war, which were not only the art response to the ruthless war, but also the expression of self-experience in the war. Therefore, new poems obtained a new characteristic after responding to the peculiar history age.The fourth chapter introduced the new aesthetics pursuance and expression strategy of the poets of National Southwestern Associated University. This was primarily about the poets'pursuance on the form or the contribution to the construction of new poem. Du Yunxie's emphasis on the new "rhythm" and "image", Mu Dan's poetics view on "new lyric" and Yuan Kejia's ideas about "Poetry modernization" showed great concern on the language and the form of the poem, which were new aesthetic considerations to the construction of the new modern poems. Meantime, with the driven of conscious poetic concept, the new poetic expression had been put into the higher level. This was mainly shown as follows: First, dramatic expression strategy; second, intellectual poetic expression. The dramatic expression strategy brought out objective artifice and extended the connotation of the poems. With it, the disadvantage of new poems that poets spoke frankly and the catharsis was too much had been corrected. The intellectual expression strategy was poetry choice and practice which aim at the particularity of modern Chinese language and the problem of new poems. The characteristics were wit, ironic, paradoxical. The connotation of language was extended by conflicted and incompatible wording. The lingual tension obtained the richer expression of modern Chinese language.The declamatory poem and the special significance of the poets of National Southwestern Associated University in the modern Chinese literature history were studied in the epilogue.
