In the environment of the agricultural country, the local literature as a literary trend is inseparable from the Chinese modern and contemporary literature. And "the Son of Canal" Liu Shaotang is one of the most important part of the Chinese modern and contemporary local literature. Liu Shaotang spends his whole life thinking the Chinese local literature. He has always stuck to in his principles:"Chinese Style, National Style, Local features, local themes" and "Urban-Rural Integration, Present and Past Cross, Nature, Suit both Refined and Popular Tastes." The Chinese local literature witnessed his memory lane, which also his theme of creation. The studies on the works of Liu Shaotang mostly about the subject matter, theme, plot structure, character, expression and language features, and prefer to focus on the local features and National Style. But in the context of current research literature, the discussion of the relationships between the novels about human relationships and common customs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the local novels of Liu Shaotang have not too much information to follow.In fact, the influence of secular novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties for Liu Shaotang are ubiquitous.A literary thought has a solid cultural foundation for a writer. Comparing to other contemporary writer, the life and creation of Liu Shaotang has a unique track. So about the cultural basis of Liu Shaotang inherited the novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this part can be divided into two gradations:The first one is about the experience of the private life, and the second one is about the individual value and the spiritual temperament.From the perspective of rhetorical criticism, human relationships and common customs novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties in language use, characters, narrative structure, plot arrangement affects Liu Shaotang local literature creation. This part is divided into three gradations. The first one is the language style about the combination of parallel prose. The second one is about the characters have the ancient people’s quality. And the third one is about the ingenious structural layout..In addition to the rhetoric, Liu Shaotang the influence of the novels on gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Liu Shaotang were forced to seclusion hometown more than 20 years in the late’50 s, as a result of his novel creation content and aesthetic mostly drawn from classical novels. This part is divided into two gradations. The first one is about the complex in reunion conclusion from the novels on gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. The second one is about the falsification of reunion conclusion.Liu Shaotang local novels influence peak appeared in the 80s, but in the late 80s and 90s Liu Shaotang vernacular writing has gradually died down. In the face of new realism literature ideological trend, such as writer in seeking breakthrough and reference at the same time, also want to stay in his familiar place like "dig one well", and classical local novel creation technique, this contradiction makes him no matter how to change, but still failed to deliver on their own beyond, and then out of the rhythm of the times development.
