摘要

Recently the Debate about the Hometown of famous persons has become a remarkable issue. As the government involves and the civil organization steps in,both the government and the Academic circles are embarrassed because the both sides are not entirely convincing. In fact,from the Cultural memory we can learn that the memory is subjective,constitutive and selective. the cultural memory was influenced by the ideology and the power institutions. Hence,the debate about the hometown of famous person is an impulse of chasing economic interests.%名人故里之争是近年来出现的一个引人注目的现象，在政府的介入和民间的喧哗中，政府和学术界都陷入了一个尴尬的境地，很难有一个令人信服的证据和结果。其实，从文化记忆理论出发，记忆本身具有主观性、建构性和选择性，文化记忆要受到意识形态和权力制度的影响。由此观之，当前出现的名人故里之争，只不过是各地追求经济效益的时髦冲动。
