During the War of Resistance Against Japan, poetry in Xinjiang actively participated in the grand narrative of national salvation. This article systematically studies the writing of “consciousness of the Chinese national community” through historical investigation and close textual reading, revealing the mechanisms of its three-dimensional construction: in terms of creative subjects, displaced literati, local poets, and writers from Northeast China each contribute to a sense of community through dual perspectives, empathetic responses to trauma, and reflections on homeland and nation; in terms of artistic expression, poetry forms a unique poetics through geographic imagery, aestheticization of the united front, and narratives of suffering; in terms of ethnic representation, minority writers integrate ethnic traditions with patriotic sentiment, achieving a transformation from policy recognition to emotional identification. The study further explores how this writing transcends a single ethnic perspective to construct a paradigm of collective identity that shares the fate of all ethnic groups and its underlying mechanisms.
