从民族记忆的集体属性和公共属性来看，民族记忆共同体最根本的内容就是民族的集体记忆和集体遗忘。其中，文本共同体是民族记忆共同体得以构成的先行条件和基础路径。在记忆文本化的基础上，重复操演和惯习养成是民族记忆共同体构建的助力因素。民族集体作为一个整全性人格，必须经过仪式、身体和其他社会实践等各种方式重复操演民族的过去与传统，由此才能养成民族的文化惯习或文化无意识，推动民族记忆共同体最终形成，这也从另一个方面印证了集体记忆和集体遗忘的必然性及其对民族记忆共同体的重要作用。

According to the collective and public attributes of national memory, the most fundamental content of a community of national memory lies in the collective memory and collective forgetting. The textual community serves as the precondition and basic path for the constitution of the national memory community. On the basis of memory textualization, repetitive performance and habit formation also make contribution to the construction of a community of national memory. As a holistic personality, the national collective must repeat the past and traditions of the nation through rituals, physical and other social practices in order to cultivate the nation’s cultural habits or cultural unconsciousness and promote the final formation of the community of national memory. It also confirms the inevitability of collective memory and collective forgetting, as well as their important roles for a community of national memory.
