ABSTRACT

Cultural memory points to the absolute past, daily life points to the present, and there is an absolute time difference between the past and the present. How can people successfully transform the ancient cultural memory into the communicative memory in daily life? This paper focuses on the Songshan area, and through field research, it is found that people make myths "localized" and "humanized" through interpretation, construction and reproduction according to the current and their own needs. The myth is the common memory of the Chinese nation, which is gradually transformed into a local legend closely linked with the regional society and becomes a part of the people's daily life.

KEYWORDS
