Based on the theory of cultural memory, this paper analyzes the formation and evolution of ethnic characteristics of Chaoshan ethnic group from the perspective of different ethnic identity and explains the historical process of the existence of Chaoshan ethnic group. The cultural memory space links the content, form and function of Chaoshan cultural memory with the physical space to achieve the purpose of Chaoshan ethnic identity and cultural continuity. This paper studies the interpretation of Chaoshan cultural memory in society by using the cultural memory hermeneutics model and reveals that Chaoshan cultural memory is embodied in the ternary system of ethnic group, cultural memory space and ritual.
