Abstract：

Starting from the highly reflective concept of "cultural text", this article examines the path of literary text entering cultural memory association, and discusses the performance and mode of action of literary text on memory. As a special type of 'memory text', literature's demonstration of memory is based on fiction. If selectivity is one of the greatest characteristics of memory itself, literary texts strengthen the selectivity of memory due to their aesthetic structure. Because literature does not need to pursue the restoration of facts when describing the past, but can creatively use narrative strategies to demonstrate the past, providing new perspectives and ways of expression for memory culture, making it possible to reconstruct, reflect, and criticize collective images and values.
