The compilation of Huizhou local records in the Republican period attached great importance to following the trend of that age,and explored in practice on how the style and categories of local records could adapt to social development and changes.Various counties in Huizhou insisted on using scientific methods to guide the compilation of local records,raised the issue of establishing scientific classification,hired interviewers to conduct field investigation,compiled interviewing charts,and actively employed scientific cartography in local records.The compilers also took note of local conditions,and widely collected and sorted contents about people traveling outside Huizhou,clans,dialects,folk songs,and folk aphorisms,which provided a large amount of first-hand materials for researchers of the real conditions of Huizhou local social development since the start of the modern period.This round of local records compilation started by various counties in Huizhou in the Republican period was conducted on the basis of accumulating local records materials over a long period of time.The smooth spread and marked progress of compiling efforts are not only related to factors such as the knowledge and horizon of compilers,but also are closely linked to the ethos of skillful in learning and brave in innovation on the part of the compilers.
