The function and function of local history is to govern, educate, and preserve history. Zizhi means using the materials of local chronicles to provide a basis for the scientific decision-making of leaders and leading organs at all levels; indoctrination means using local chronicle materials to educate the broad masses, especially young people, in patriotism, socialism, and revolutionary traditions; and preserving history means using the materials accumulated in local chronicles to serve the compilation of history, to serve social science research, and to serve various construction undertakings. The so-called evidence refers to the relevant facts or materials that can prove the authenticity of something. Evidence of land ownership refers to the material that can prove the ownership of the disputed land, which is a specific carrier directly stipulated by the law.
First of all, the eleven kinds of evidentiary materials listed in Article 34 of the Regulations on the Mediation and Handling of Disputes over Land, Mountains, Forests, and Water Conservancy Ownership in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the five reference evidentiary materials listed in Article 35 do not have "local records", so local records are not legal evidence materials for handling land tenure disputes.
Secondly, land ownership dispute refers to the dispute over the ownership of a specific plot of land, which requires evidence to prove the truth of the ownership of the disputed plot, which must conform to the legitimacy, authentic objectivity and relevance of the evidence, because the local history is the sum of the materials prepared by specific people according to specific procedures, it lacks the pertinence and objectivity of the specific disputed plot, and cannot prove the facts of the disputed case, so it does not conform to the "three natures" characteristics of the evidence.
In summary, "local history" is not evidence of land tenure disputes, nor is it reference evidence for land tenure disputes.
