The Regional culture has a deep influence on the creation of novels, which show some characteristics and spirits of the regional culture. The regional and cultural novels of San Jin in new period are rooted in the profound land of San Jin. They derived the rich nutrient from the regional culture and show their distinctive features and cultural characteristics. The novels have profound connotation not only because they describe the land and nature in San Jin, which keep the culture from developing, but because they reveal the cultural contents of the place such as its special way of survival, the morals, customs, history and humane spirits. This paper analyses the regional and cultural novels of San Jin in new period with the regional culture as its starting point and from both the micro and macro point of view.San Jin lies in the east of loess plateau. People here depend on the profound and impoverished land, but it also restricts the way of people survival. San Jin is one of the earliest areas which are developed by the human beings and also the important source of Huaxia civilization. It is nourished greatly by the traditional Huaxia civilization. The people here are simple and thrifty and honest. The farming civilization is stamped deeply on this place. The land in San Jin which is isolated naturally from the Central Plains is located strategically and difficult to access. It was influenced deeply by the culture of backward north nomadic people. The regional culture develops in isolation and the process of development is a bit slow. The development of the civilization is very heavy and slow.The regional and cultural novels of San Jin in new period show distinctively those features of regional culture. In the narration of the regional and cultural scene, writers always focus on the remote villages and isolated mountains. Their novels make a record of the simple and poor life as well as the heavy and slow history. They also describe the helpless people there. We could take a look at the pictures of the regional survival scene of San Jin.Writers focus on the regional culture of San Jin through the reality. They examine once again the complicated fusion of the simplicity and honesty and the conservation and self-reliance, as well as the persistence and passiveness. They find the cultural tendency of regional poverty. We could search for the possibility of the revival of the regional culture in San Jin.The simple and profound regional and cultural novels of San Jin in new period inherit the simple and honest tradition of the regional culture. Facing new opportunities and challenges, the novels tap into deep and wide theme and break through and surpass themselves.
