The birth background of root-seeking literature can be traced back to China society in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In that special period, people began to reflect on traditional culture and history, and paid close attention to individual identity and cultural identity. Root-seeking literature, as a new literary form, has developed and grown.
Root-seeking literature is not only artistic in literature, but also the inheritance and reconstruction of cultural memory. Through root-seeking literary works, readers can feel the author's deep friendship with traditional culture, history and family accumulation.

In contemporary society, root-seeking literature still maintains its unique charm, although it faces the conflict and collision between real life and traditional culture. Root-seeking literary works guide us to think about the relationship between individuals and society, reality and tradition, and provide us with opportunities to reflect and know ourselves.
