Description
As the process of globalisation accelerates, cultural diversity is receiving unprecedented attention. The international community's ongoing exploration of sustainable development models for traditional communities has increasingly highlighted the importance of culture in shaping local identity, transforming the value of resources and enhancing economic competitiveness. The intrinsic connection between the cultural potential embedded in rural history and the concept of cultural capital has become a research hotspot across national boundaries. Peasant Life in China: A Field Study of Country Life in the Yangtze Valley opens a window for international academics to understand China's countryside, and the historical and cultural resources of the classic case of Kaixiangong Village in the book have undoubtedly become an excellent example for exploring the mechanism of transforming rural cultural capital and the path of sustainable development in the context of the new era. In the context of the new era, it has undoubtedly become an excellent example for exploring the transformation mechanism and sustainable development path of rural cultural capital. Therefore, our study takes Kaixinbow Village as an example, and collects comprehensive and in-depth data information about the demographic changes of the village, the pulse of industrial development, the current status of rural cultural inheritance, the creation of cultural IPs, and the level of villagers' cultural cognition in the summer of 2023 through field surveys, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires, among other multi-dimensional data information. The study aims to accurately analyse the constituent elements and transformation obstacles of its cultural capital, deeply explore the positive role of rural historical and cultural potentials in contemporary socio-economic development, and further expand the application dimensions and feasible paths of the conceptual model of cultural capital in rural revitalization practice, so as to contribute innovative and referential Chinese wisdom and solutions to the effective development and utilization of global rural cultural resources.
