Many people of Shandong province migrated to Taiwan during the tremendous social changes at the end of the 40s of the last century. They and their descendants have devoted in the construction and got great achievements in all fields of Taiwan, especially in the literary field. Now the writers from Shandong province in Taiwan spread to the fields of novel, poetry, prose and drama, even to the film circles. For example, Jiang gui, Zhu xi'ning, Zhu Tianwen, Zhu Tianxin and Zhang Dachun in the field of novel; Wang Dingjun, Zhang Tengjiao, Ye Xing and Wang Xiaolian in the field of prose; Guan guan, Sha Mu, Ding Wenzhi, Min Yin and Chen Minhuan in the field of poety; Ma Sen, Zhang Yongxiang, He Xiaozhong and Liu Yin in the field of film and drama. At the same time, these writers present their literary ideals through all kinds of modern literatures. The literature media they founded or edited reined the literary world for nearly fifty years and have profound influence even till now. Some writers of Shandong province often got all kinds of rewards in recent years, so the researchers have gradually noticed their literary achievements. The group including the writers of Shandong province has emerged distinctly. Some of them migrated once again from Taiwan to abroad, so I named them the outside writers of Shandong province.This group has a long history and includes complex members. Though the researchers are interested in some members because of the influence from some media activities, the study on the whole group has not appeared in the literary history until now. This paper studies from the perspective of geographical culture, choose the works as the study objects that the writers created and showed the characteristics of shantung's geographical culture and discuss the inheritance and development of traditional culture of Shantung. The main part of this study includes four chapters: The first-three chapters on the study of the first generation of these writers, and the fourth chapter on the second generation.The first chapter analyzed the impact of the Confucius culture tradition on the first generation of these writers. Confucius culture tradition stimulated their sense of urgency for the Chinese traditional culture because their hometown had been the holy land of Chinese culture. The study chose some outstanding writers the first generation of the group and analyzed their work deeply. Zhu Xining was devoted in the criticism and reconstruction of Chinese nationality. He sharply revealed the ignorant human nature of the traditional Chinese, explored the serious side of Chinese traditional culture, at the same time, on the basis of "destruction" of the writers in May 4 times, he re-excavated of the vitality "Shudao" which is still living in traditional Chinese culture, especially in Confucian culture and recreated it through creating a series of figures in shaping the image. Jiang Gui was committed to the traditional Chinese ethics and adhered to the criticism. On the one hand, he reflected the traditional Chinese feudal ethics of human suppression and distortion by shaping the image of Chinese traditional intellectual women; On the other hand, he didn't completely agree with the western culture of radical ideas, but implant the new connotation of the times into the loyalty, filial piety, and other traditional values. Wang Dingjun did his best to the transformation and innovation of national aesthetic forms. He always noticed the social function of literature correctional and managed to break the disadvantages attaching to political ideology; He insisted the progressive outlook on life, inherited the masculine side of the traditional Chinese culture, at the same time he focused on critical white wash peaceful intermediate aesthetic tendencies.The second chapter researches the Christian culture's influence to the first generation of the Shandong writer's spiritual world. It provides outside spiritual resource for the Chinese traditional conversation that they were devoted to and let the literature creation present a new aesthetic form.Since the modern times, Christianity had widely spread in Shantung province. The convenience which the western invaders provided for the mission, the change of the mission's way and the Chinese traditional culture's own crisis and so on made the Christianity culture gradually integrate into the traditional region culture of Shandong. They affected the construction of the native's spirit. It was not purely traditional culture, which impacted the first generation of the group. It mixed many Christianity culture factors. When the first generation was devoted to reconstructed Chinese traditional culture, they tried to unearth the vitality the part of the Chinese traditional culture; on the other hand, they regarded the Christianity culture as the external cultural resources that could be profited from. They used the Christianity culture to revise the feasibility and utilitarian in Chinese traditional culture so that it can come to the thorough redeeming of the human nature. On the other hand, this kind of mixed culture also diligently took the Chinese native culture as the foundation. They treasured Chinese traditional culture especially Confucianism culture. They respected the Chinese common social custom. They explained the Christ religious doctrine with Chinese traditional thought. On the base of deriving the energetic essential meaning of the Christ culture, they got rid of the fetters of ceremony's and so on. The influence of Christ belief in writers' inner world reflected in the literary. And it made the overall style of the literary work, the form skeleton and the literature imagination change largely.The third chapter analyzed the influence of the Shantung's folk culture on the first Shandong outside generation writers. This analyze from three stratifications: the folk spirit, the folk culture and the dialect. The paper first discussed the folk value stand point, which from the first Shandong outside generation writers. Take the Zhu Xining, Jiang Gui, Wang Dingjun for example to analyze. Civil society is a paradox cultural spaces, it has the dirty and the vitality together. When facing original culture tradition, this group of writes consciously upheld the value of a relative position on the civil. They continued the Chinese native literature tradition, so their creation beyond the political ideology and Enlightenment intellectuals Perspective, have a higher aesthetic value. Zhu Xining embarks from the child angle of view, adopts the duplicate accent narrative method, and showed the folk space that could be camouflaged. Jiang Gui persevered the folk values, and through the special character image demonstrated the absurd of the other ideology. Wang Dingjun received the Chinese literature tradition which narrative the history. Through a variety of ideological voices resonate, and showed the real state of the civil.Custom is invisible and elementary power that reflects people's languages, actions and psychology in a specific area. This Paper analyzed the different perspectives of the custom in the works of the first generation and revealed the intent in description geographical of customs: not only to build the original spirit by it, but also think it as the part of the reflections on cultural awareness. At the same time, it was subordinate to the modern aesthetic of the important practice.The dialect is the most characteristic part of the region characteristic and carries so much cultural tradition of this region. These writers used the dialect of shantung, which was the special way of returning home from the spirit, and which also spiritedly unfolded the region character's relationship of form and spirit and the region culture essence. The fourth chapter discusses the second generation of this group how to inherit the hometown culture tradition. First, the paper compared two generation of writer's angles of view overall which they used to treat the hometown culture tradition. Second, according to the creation of the second generation of writers who are the representative members we specific analysis of their characteristics. Comparing with the first generation, the second generation's original township emotion was totally different and had very big variation because of the difference of the historical and cultural background. Firstly, they started to love the earth beneath their feet and became lack of understanding of their original township emotions; Secondly, they stress more from individual life angle to examine the original township culture tradition; Thirdly, they took the original township culture as the imagination fountainhead of the esthetic stratification plane.The second generation carries on unique to the original township culture tradition. On one hand, Zhang Dachun's work has carried on the cultural reconsideration consciousness of the first generation; on the other hand, it launches his powerful and unconstrained novel imagination with the aid of the original township culture tradition. Wang Youhua's novel looked like paying his attention to the metropolis life, but it demonstrated the original township culture tradition to the character vivid morals stratification plane's extreme attention the potential impact. Zhu Tianwen and Zhu Tianxin's early time works' esthetic affective tone inherited Zhu Xining's culture and esthetic ideal obviously and continued China's ritual music culture tradition. Pinglu's creation demonstrated the difficult position of the inheritance of the region culture tradition in modern society. The modern people have to face the problem that was not where the native place is, but how to console their own soul in the modern circumstances in which they are surely to lose their township.
