Abstract: The theoretical research of the origin of magnetic skyrmion is very interesting. By using decomposition theory of gauge potential and the gauge parallel condition of local bases of $su(2)$ Lie algebra, its $SU(2)$ gauge potential is expressed as flat connection. As an example of application, we obtain the inner topological structure of second Chern number by $SU(2)$ flat connection method. It's well known that if magnetic monopole exists in electrodynamics, its Wu-Yang potential is indispensable in $U(1)$ invariant electromagnetic field. In $2$-dim magnetic materials, we prove that if magnetic skyrmion exists, its integral kernel must be $U(1)$ Wu-Yang curvature, where its $U(1)$ Wu-Yang potential is the projection of $SU(2)$ flat connection on $su(2)$ local Cartan subalgebra. The magnetic skyrmion can be created by performing concrete $SU(2)$ local gauge transformation to $su(2)$ Cartan subalgebra $sigm{a}_3$. The components of the $U(1)$ Wu-Yang curvature correspond to the emergent electromagnetic field of magnetic skyrmion
