Abstract: War politics impacts deeply on 1940s Chinese poetry. It promotes the peculiar poetic prosperity due to that poetry is a literary carrier which most fully expresses human passion and whose spiritual temperament is in natural conformity with people’s war passion and their romantic phantoms.What is more important is the fact that some agitating features of poetry have special realistic significance during war time. War politics also exerts direct influence on the poetic development of form and style and has, in depth, an effect on the imago selection by poets. It is not altogether fitting and proper to totally negate the impact of war politics on 1940s poetry in a simple way. People should historically regard the choice by poets and the attribute of poems in special political times.

Key words: war, political culture, poetry
