昭君出塞是中华民族内部交往交流交融的重要实践，也是中华民族共同体生成历程中的典型事件。王昭君传说以这一历史事件为基础，主要流传于湖北、内蒙古等地区。源于昭君出塞的文化根源，该传说鲜明呈现出农耕文化和游牧文化相互交融的总体特征。王昭君传说既反映了各地民众对昭君出塞带来和平安宁的认同和赞颂，也体现其在农耕文化与游牧文化的物质互鉴和情感融通中发挥的重要作用。从历史维度看，传说中铸牢中华民族共同体意识的物质互鉴与情感融通存在内在双向互动：物质互鉴催生情感融通，情感融通又促进物质互鉴，由此持续推动两大文化区域民心相通的良性循环。时至今日，王昭君传说在新时代铸牢中华民族共同体意识中仍具有独特的时代价值，主要体现在三个方面：通过对传说的利用与再生增进文化认同、推动文化资源活化利用与文化产业区域协同合作、增强铸牢中华民族共同体意识的文化内驱力。
