Abstract Born out of and developing along with the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression， the poetry of the War of Resistance resonated profoundly with the pulse of history. Due to the diversification of literary centers， there were three main lineages of this poetry： the July School Poetry， Jin-Cha-Ji Poetry， and Modernist Poetry. The poetry of the War of Resistance not only voiced the collective spirit of the nation and depicted the grand panorama of the war， but also made epoch-defining aesthetic contributions in at least four aspects： lyrical poetry has evolved from the forceful “percussion music” to the majestic “symphony”； narrative poetry has flourished comprehensively， filling the gap in Chinese narrative poetry； audible poetry—recitation poetry and songs—has thrived with vitality； and a conscious absorption of historical and folk traditions has strengthened the national and populist character of modern poetry.
