There is an interactive relationship between Ye Mei's literary activities and constant changing literary trends since the new time of China. During writing, she initiatively echoed the "education" and discipline of the literary mainstream, with trying to break shackles by the discourse system of subjectival consciousness, made or created the differences that had a certain distance from the mainstream. Similarly, Ye Mei expressed the attitude of seeking the common ideas and keeping the differences in the interaction with ethnic minorities' literary trends. From this, we can realize the social context of Ye Mei's literary works, and find the reason of her changing age of rhetoric. However, from the perspective of identity, Ye Mei has multiple major identities, including litterateur, editor and female identity. The regional, ethnic identities that are in the second place interlace and "collide" reciprocally with the editor identity in Ye Mei's literary field. The editor and the author identity, the ethnic identity has combined influence in her occupation career. The "consultation" between gender identity, ethnic and author identity helps Ye reveal herself that is always be covered, which reflects her female consciousness and the efforts of internalizing the ethnic identity. Besides,Her intellectual standpoint combines with the mainstream (official) position,which shapes the mainstream standpoint of intellectuals. The intellectuals' and folk standpoint integrate with each other and become Ye's folk value position that insist on rational enlightenment and face to folk world. But her novels about the history and culture of Tujia nationality are immersed in an embarrassed situation when the three cultural standpoints interact with each other.
