The aim of this paper is to expose the aesthetic meaning of identity and difference in the process of contemporary Chinese prose-writing, embodied with the characteristics of uncertainty and subversion of the culture in developing. This paper argues that the aesthetic dimension of literary / cultural identity in contemporary Chinese prose-writing consists in the attitude of taking prose-writing as a way of searching the trace of existence in vanishing world, through the rehabilitation of language of difference, in pursuing the sense of beauty, ethic value and religious sentiment in the living culture, rather than in the intention of recognizing the author's social status or repeating the established reality presented in the text. This paper will firstly discuss the intimate relationship between textual writing and cultural production in Chinese literature, in re-examining the poietic meanings of the character "wen", both in wenzi and wenhua . It will illustrate the aesthetic characteristics of contemporary Chinese prose-writing by the literary relevance implied in the distinction between the aesthetic attitude of artistic writing of prose, and the utilitarian attitude taking writing as instrument. Further, from the viewpoint of aesthetic differences, this paper will read more in detail several texts as models to expose how the contemporary writers use their pen to draw the sense of literary and cultural identity in the ruin of memory
