Local chronicles describe historical facts and present situation, and the development process of things. It takes truth as its life, and absolutely does not allow any fiction and falsehood, nor does it allow so-called "reasonable imagination". It requires seeking truth from facts, writing straight, describing things truly and objectively, and the recorded content should stand the test of the times and history. Local chronicles need not be described by literature.
The principle of local chronicles is to "record and ignore". Views can not be expressed by arguments, can not be clearly put forward by the author in the form of arguments, and must be expressed by historical materials. Historians' views and tendencies on the objective situation should be naturally revealed in the description of the facts and praised and criticized in the facts.
Local chronicles can only be recorded with a large number of authentic materials, and cannot be based on references or scientific axioms and laws. The focus of local chronicles is "recording", winning with data, not relying on comments and arguments. Local chronicles should let readers draw their own conclusions through a large number of conclusive facts. Of course, there can be a "finishing touch" pen, but it should be just right.
