Influenced by western theory of new history,studies of Chinese regional culture in the late 20th century Western sinology present three representative narrative strategies:objective intervening narrative,subjective intervening narrative and contextual intervening narrative.Based up textual analysis and comparison of case studies of regional culture in Shandong with the above three approaches,the paper delineates the problem and character of each narrative strategy,and argues that the contextual intervening narrative is relatively popular with its methodological advantage.
