In the era of creative economy, innovative and creative ideas have become the core driving force for social and economic development. Some developed countries or regions have adopted the “Creative Nation” strategy and have taken the lead in entering the ranks of “Creative Nations,” enjoying the dividends of creative nations. In comparison with the pioneering creative nations in Europe and the United States, it is imperative for China to build a “Creative China.“ In response to the advent of the creative economy era, contemporary Chinese literature must follow the path of creative development. In line with the construction of Creative China, the strategy of “Literary Creative China” should be established to build a new creative literary ontology. By shifting literary creativity towards responding to the strategic practice of Creative China, and through the construction of a literary creative nation, literature can more effectively participate in creative industries and public cultural services, contributing to the development of a major-country cultural strategy and Creative China, which is the key to the development of contemporary Chinese literature.
