方志因其对一地的政治、经济、军事、文化、地理、人物、社会及自然状况的记载,而成为人们研究历史的重要文献资料。但方志本身的发展过程也是一地文化发展的重要表现。前人研究多关注方志的资料价值,而忽视了方志作为文化要素反映的文化发展变化。明朝建立后,我国方志发展开始进入兴盛的时期,云南方志的修纂也不例外。 Because of its records of political, economic, military, cultural, geographical, human, social and natural conditions in a place, it has become an important document for people to study history. However, the development process of local history itself is also an important manifestation of cultural development. Previous studies focused more on the value of local records, while ignoring the cultural changes recorded by local chronicles as cultural elements. After the establishment of Ming dynasty, the development of Chinese chronicles began to flourish, and the compilation of Yunnan chronicles was no exception.
