When is the oldest historical local chronicles? Who proposed it?

The oldest history is actually local chronicles, which was said by Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao said: "The oldest history is actually local chronicles."

Scholars who hold this view believe that local chronicles originated from Zhou Guan. The so-called Zhou Guan refers to the official system of the royal family in the Zhou Dynasty, and later the book Zhou Li was also called Zhou Guan. In the Preface to Henan Records, Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty believed that the official position, local training and recitation training were similar to those of later local records.

Zhang Jiacheng, a local chronicler in Qing Dynasty, believes that books that record local historical events during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as Cheng, Chu Ci and Lu Zhi Chunqiu, should be the earliest local chronicles. Many scholars in later generations also believe that these history books are similar to local chronicles in later generations and have the embryonic form of local chronicles, which should be called the source of local chronicles.

Dialect information is a great treasure hidden in local chronicles.

The compilation of local chronicles in China has a history of more than 2000 years, and there are more than 8000 kinds of old chronicles. As the saying goes, local chronicles are an important part of China's traditional cultural treasure house, and the information in them is of great value.

Dialects in the old local chronicles include Chinese dialects and China national languages, among which Chinese dialects are the main part. Before the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the related contents of dialects had not been included in the framework of local chronicles. From about the Ming Dynasty, compilers began to consciously record dialect words, dialects, proverbs and ballads as part of local chronicles. The editors of local chronicles are mostly local academic or cultural celebrities. By recording local dialects and dialects with local people, the accuracy is relatively high.

The dialect materials in these local chronicles greatly make up for the shortage of dialect records in China traditional documents, which not only provide reliable and precious first-hand materials for us to understand and study the historical evolution of Chinese dialects and national languages, but also provide a new perspective for the interpretation and reading of dialect proverbs in novels and operas of past dynasties and a rich historical corpus for the compilation of large-scale historical dialect reference books.
