Especially in the Anti-Japanese war, a lot of nonnative writers went to the Chongqing. They faced a strange environment. The penetration of wharf culture influenced the creation of writers for different degrees. For a long time, the researchers mainly thought the path of the modern literary concept spread from coast to inland, inland was affected by coast and became open gradually. Negligibly, inland is not closed completely. Through the wharf’s function of transportation and information exchange, native culture face the impact of external culture directly and form a kind of open and hybrid cultural pattern. This becomes a major feature of the wharf culture. In this paper, the wharf culture is discussed, taking the Anti-Japanese war period in Chongqing as an example. The foreign writers fled here.
