Abstract

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there emerged a number of important literature materials on the study of modern Chinese dialects. Among them, there are also quite a lot of literatures that take the Hakka in Meizhou, Guangdong as the stronghold of Hakka as the record or research object. From the four categories of dialect dictionaries researched and compiled by local scholars, foreign Meizhou dialect documents, dialect documents, and contract documents, this paper introduces their different styles in the records of dialect words, and expounds that these historical documents have important reference value for the study of Chinese dialects and regional culture today.
