Abstract: The study of local culture is inseparable from a careful examination of individual families. The Yu family in Qujing in the Qing Dynasty was a family with two jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) from one family, whose father and four nephews were all county magistrates, who lived in a declining world of Taoism, adhering to the family culture of cloth, and worked hard and honestly for the benefit of the countryside. The literary creation of Yu brothers shows that they were concerned about the country and the times, and they were highly concerned about the fate of the country and the times. Yu also paid attention to the collection and preservation of the literature of the countryside, and used the collection of literature to praise and criticize the world style, which made important contributions to the local cultural cause. It is important to study Yu's family to enhance the self-confidence of local culture.

Key words: Yu Huairen, Yu Huaixin, hardworking and thrifty family tradition, literary creation, documents collection
