This paper analyzes the series of astronomical science articles Xiaochuang Suibi in the Astronomical and Meteorological Magazine which were written by Gao Lu in the period of the Republic of China. It makes a logic analysis of the main content of Xiaochuang Suibi and its references to local knowledge resources. According to citation index of Rizhilu and Rizhilu Jishi (the most representative local knowledge resources) in Xiaochuang Suibi, the paper chooses Rizhilu and Rizhilu Jishi as the case studies. It concludes that Xiaochuang Suibi creates a new popular science model which is different from the that during the early years of the Republic of China, namely, local knowledge resources are taken to interpret western science in Xiaochuang Suibi.
