What is local literature? As the name implies, all the natural and social conditions (including history and present situation) recorded in words about a certain area belong to the category of local documents. As far as natural conditions are concerned, all written records of geology, soil, hydrology, mountains, water system, resources, meteorology and disasters have been collected.

The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China literature, especially poetry and prose, showing unprecedented prosperity. However, Fujian's local literature has just revealed the sunshine, and compared with the national literature, we have to admit that it lags behind a lot. The development of Fujian local literature in Song Dynasty caught up with the pace of the whole country. During this period, not only talented people came forth in large numbers in Fujian, but also many writers, poets, poets and literary critics who could compete in the whole country emerged. In addition, in some fields, such as literary criticism, it is positive and eager to take the lead. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were not many writers and poets in central Fujian, and they had no characteristics. There were many writers' works in the Ming Dynasty, and the retro school appeared, and a group of writers with strong revolutionary spirit, such as Li Zhi, lashed out at traditional literary thoughts.

Since ancient times, our ancestors have compiled countless kinds of genealogies. Despite years of erosion, there are still at least 30,000 kinds of genealogy, which are rich in content and valuable, and are valuable materials worthy of researchers' attention.

There are more than 8,000 kinds of local chronicles in China, accounting for about 10% of the existing ancient books, and the compiled local chronicles account for about 80% of the existing total, with at least 6,000 kinds. There are about 350 kinds of local chronicles in Fujian, of which 15 1 species are local chronicles of Qing dynasty. Among the three existing local chronicles of the Song Dynasty in Fujian, two were compiled by Quanzhou people, one is Liang's Three Mountains and Xian Xi Zhi, and the other is Zhao and Mu's Lin Ting Zhi (the original book has been lost). Liang's San is the earliest and best local chronicles in Fujian. Various local chronicles are basically available in all provinces, prefectures, counties and towns.

If we find these lost treasures, it is one of the topics worthy of consideration for us to better carry out the study of ancient documents.

Third, establish Fujian local literature network and database. In the process of establishing Fujian local literature network, we should strive for the understanding and support of all localities, set up Fujian local literature work coordination Committee, invite public libraries at all levels, local archives, social science information and related institutions to participate, and formulate the scope and methods of coordination, clearly stipulate the responsibilities, rights and interests of all parties to coordinate and form?
