The similarities and differences between rural novels and local novels
Both rural novels and local novels were novels that described rural life, but they were different in content, style, and audience. The rural novels generally focused on the changes and growth of the rural society, economy, culture and other aspects. They described the protagonist's struggle, exploration, and growth in adversity. They reflected the current situation and problems of the rural society and explored human nature, emotions, and other topics. The target audience of rural novels was mainly rural readers. It aimed to convey positive energy to motivate readers to pay attention to rural problems and help farmers solve practical problems. Local novels, on the other hand, paid more attention to describing local customs, traditional culture, and lifestyle, as well as the protagonist's growth, experience, and exploration in the local environment. The audience of local novels was mainly rural readers, but there were also a certain number of urban readers. Although the rural novels and local novels both focus on rural life, they have their own unique characteristics and values in terms of content, style and audience.
