清政府推行“新政”期间,要求全国各地编写本地的乡土志。尽管新疆各地的乡土志质量参差不齐,但却是新疆各府、厅、州、县基本情况的原始记载,对研究晚清新疆的政治、经济、文化、地理、物产、风物等有着重要价值。目前共找到44部新疆乡土志,这些乡土志的史料来源,主要有正史记载、摘录前志、档案碑记、实地调查等四种途径。 During the implementation of the “new policy” by the Qing government, it demanded that local native chihsters be prepared throughout the country. Although the quality of native dialects varies from place to place in Xinjiang, it is the original record of the basic situation of various prefectures, departments, prefectures and counties in Xinjiang and is of great value to the study of politics, economy, culture, geography, property and scenery in Xinjiang in the late Qing Dynasty . At present, there are 44 local natives recorded in Xinjiang. The sources of these local historical records are mainly historical records, excerpts from excerpts, archives and field surveys.
