【Content Introduction】
The campus poetry of Southwest Associated University was born in a special cultural context of running away from the alarm, hanging out in teahouses, free thinking and academic openness. The campus poets composed of teachers and students introduced Western modernist poetics into Chinese modern poetry. Under the dark pressure, they sang about freedom, suffering and land firmly and confidently, questioned their own contradictory souls, and became the fulcrum for the fusion of modern poetics and Chinese soil, promoting the modernization of Chinese modern poetry and creating the peak of Chinese modern poetry. The campus poetry of Southwest Associated University is condensed, profound and has the power of sculpture. Its depth of thinking is the peak state of Chinese modern poetry.
This book compiles more than 300 poems from 6 masters of Southwest Associated University (such as Wen Yiduo, Feng Zhi, Bian Zhilin, Shen Congwen, Li Guangtian, and Yeatsun) and 18 students (Mu Dan, Ma Fenghua, Wang Zuoliang, Ye Hua, Shen Jiping, Du Yunxie, He Da, Yang Zhouhan, Chen Shi, Zhou Dingyi, Luo Jiyi, Zheng Min, Lin Pu, Zhao Ruihong, Yu Mingchuan, Yuan Kejia, Qin Ni, and Miao Hong). Among them, five precious poetry collections written at that time are fully included: Feng Zhi's "Collection of Sonnets", Bian Zhilin's "Collection of Letters of Comfort", Du Yunxie's "Forty Poems" and "Nanyin Collection" and Zheng Min's "Poetry Collection: 1942-1947". In order to reflect the original appearance of the works of the poetry group of Southwest Associated University, the poems and essays recorded in this publication try to use the original appearance when the poets published and published, supplemented by footnotes to explain the appearance of the works in the currently commonly used popular version or the author's collection of works.
【Editor's recommendation】
At the critical moment of the nation's survival, a group of China's most outstanding minds at the time came to Kunming from the fallen land; in eight years, this city became an academic temple that passed on the torch, which was Southwest Associated University. The teachers and students of the university used courage and blood to pursue and analyze beauty and truth here, between the daily life of poverty and the gap between enemy bombs flying overhead from time to time; Bian Zhilin, Feng Zhi, Mu Dan, Du Yunxie, Chen Shi, Miao Hong... poets matured or sacrificed. Born out of passion and ideals, the poems of the poets of Southwest Associated University testify to the youthful pursuit of a generation, and will eventually become the light trail followed by those who come after.
