Chinese literature stands on its own in the forest of world literature. Shandong literature has been a unique branch of Chinese literature since ancient times. In the new period，born on the land of Qilu，the literary army of Shandong grew up in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius，containing profound historical and cultural deposits. With its distinctive regional characteristics and creative achievements，it stands erect in the forest of our large cultural country. As time changes，a group of new forces emerged in the literary army of Shandong，which expanded the depth and breadth of Shandong literature and aroused wide attention in the literary field. The new generation of the literary army of Shandong responded to the ideological confusion of the relation between righteousness and interest with profound moral and rational thinking，which set off another tide of era and contributed to another rise of the literary army of Shandong. It is necessary to deeply explore the inheritance，development and trend of the literary army of Shandong and review the development and achievements of Shandong literature. From the perspective of the national and even the world literature，the local characteristics，cultural deposits and aesthetic characters of Shandong literature should be focused on. The gain and loss in literary creation of Shandong writers need to be analyzed，and the ideas and measures should be sought in order to achieve new breakthroughs in Shandong literature.
