Abstract: Southwest United University is a miracle in the educational field. It is an outstanding representative of Yunnan's
education, and also is of significant value. Poetry composition in the university was the spiritual homeland and a poetic shelter for the
teachers and students at that time. The poetry in the university during the War of Resistance reflects the spirit of school anthem.
Through Chen Yinke's experience in the South, we can see the teachers' and students' flexible way of making best of the situation.
Through the poems of Ye Hua, Shen Jiping, Qin Ni, Ma Fenghua, William Empson, Ma Junjie, Xue Chen, etc., we can see the suffering
and misery of Chinese people under the attack of Japanese. Through the poems of Zheng Min, Sun Yutang, Du Yunxie, Liu Yishi, etc.,
we can feel the great humanistic feelings. Through the poems of Xu Ming, Feng Zhi, Mu Dan, Du Yunxie, etc., we can see the patriotism
in that disastrous period of time. The National Monument Inscription written on May 4th, 1947 reflects the educational spirit of South
United University, which is a collaboration of students and teachers. The description of "war" in this poem is a light for the country in
the darkness of time.
