Abstract: The vernacular writing of the color literati is a kind of writing of specific regional culture based on local feelings, and its essence is the individual's identification and construction of ethnic culture. Different from the Han nationality, these color literati from foreign identities complete the identity of the Chinese nation in the fields of politics, economy, ideology, culture and other fields, and gradually produces the practical cognition and hometown experience of the Chinese native scenery where they live. This phenomenon not only reflects the different cognition and writing of the literati on home and country, but also reflects the dual acceptance and recognition of the Chinese "nationality" and "culture" of the outstanding literati. By studying the local writing of theCelu literati represented by Sa Du La, Nai Xian and Ding Helian in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, this paper explores their ways and concepts of thinking about relatives, friends, family and country, and returning home in different regions of the north and the south in order to avoid government, avoid trouble and go on a pilgrimage, or from the perspective and meaning of literary writing, attempting to construct the literary writing path and value of the community consciousness of the Chinese nation and country.

Key words: late Yuan and early Ming, literati in the Western regions, vernacular writing, national identity
