In the context of the internet and the digital age, the “traditional-modern” transformation of time-honored enterprises is both an urgent practical issue and an academically significant topic. This requires problem-oriented research for detailed analysis at the foundational level within the field of anthropology. It also necessitates expanding into discipline-oriented research to promote and deepen the development of enterprise anthropology as a …

The Construction and Development of Cultural Heritage in Cultural Tourism Performances

The relationship mainly presents two forms: “macro-structure” and “micro-structure”. The term “macro-structures” refers to the original forms of scenic sites and tourist destinations within the cultural tourism…

The “Umbrella Society” and the Emergence and Development of Modern Enterprises During the Self-Strengthening Movement in China
The “umbrella society” is a main feature of the Chinese social structure. The “umbrella” protection that government offers business operators is not only a major social relationship but also an important means of resource allocation in China. During the Self-Strengthening Movement, the “paternal”, “kinship” and “friendship” relationships between the government and enterprises promoted the emergence of state-owned enterprises, government-supervise…
“Umbrella Society” and Ancient Chinese Industrial and Commercial Management
The “umbrella society” has been of the main features of China’s social structure. The “umbrella” relationship between government and business operators is not only a major social substructure but also an important method of resource allocation. This relationship has existed for a very long time. In ancient times, the three most important business management systems in China (government-run business, contractor-run business and private business) w…
Chinese anthropology and ethnology
Chinese anthropology and ethnology studies are shaped by diverse schools of thought, including Western anthropology, classical Marxist ethnic theory, the Soviet school of ethnology, and Chinese experience and theory. In particular, Western anthropology, classical Marxist ethnic theory, and the Soviet school have had a tremendous impact on Chinese anthropology and ethnology studies across different historical periods. In China, practical and theor…
Theoretical exploration of Chinese anthropology and ethnology
This paper starts with the four factors that affect Chinese anthropology and ethnology: the Soviet school of ethnology, Marxist ethnology, Western anthropological and ethnological theories, and Chinese experience and theory (government policies and scholar explorations). Based on the influence of foreign theories and the theoretical exploration of local efforts, this paper points out the transformations in Chinese anthropology and ethnology and i…
Cantonese Businessmen and Lingnan & National Market System
"Impact-response model" by J. K. Fairbank and "physiographic macro-regions of China" by G. William Skinner are the two influencers among international and domestic academic circles. This paper argues that Lingnan & national market systems in China were powered largely by Cantonese businessmen in Ming and Qing dynasties and were generated internally, rather than waiting for the impact from the West. From the social structure of Cantonese businessm…
Seventy years of Chinese anthropology
This paper examines the 70-year history of Chinese anthropology from domestic and international perspectives since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The policy of reform and opening-up in 1978 was a turning point in Chinese anthropology. Within the 30 years before the reform and opening-up, Chinese anthropology was more or less at a 10-year standstill that was then followed by a boom influenced by the former Soviet Union. Th…
A New Round of Industrialization, Marketization and Urbanization on the Perspective of Enterprise Anthropology
An American anthropologist suggested that urbanization and industrialization are not the research fields of anthropology. However, Fei Xiaotong, a well-known Chinese anthropologist explored China’s rural industrialization and marketization around 75 years ago. He also studied China’s urbanization more than 30 years ago. That was the true representation of China’s academic tradition of research on industrialization, marketization and urbanization.…
China's Urban Migrants
Over the past few decades, most researches have focused on comparative study of the economic performance of different migrant groups in cities, or their economic participation patterns. In this paper, based on first-hand information of recent surveys in some cities of China, we use the "ethnic enclave" and its economic circle theory trying to illustrate that among various factors that have affected the formation of the ethnic economic-cultural pa…
New functionalism
The better protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage sites, objects, and practices (especially intangible aspects of cultural heritage) based on anthropological research can work in the field of urban planning and design, an applied field with interdisciplinary cooperation, thus bringing new vitality to urban development. Additionally, the relationship between historical and cultural heritage and urban revival is not only bin…
Beehive society
The new concept of “Beehive Society” proposed here is corresponding to the term “umbrella society” that was put forward by the author in 2014. This article analyzes basic structure and functions of five types of “beehives” from two categories through two perspectives of employment and management, including chain type, net type beehives of employees, and family, value chain, native ethnic centered beehives of manager. “Beehive society” has no such…
Enterprise Anthropology
Enterprise Anthropology is very different from other sub-disciplines of anthropology (such as Urban Anthropology, Medical Anthropology and so on), which use theories and methodologies of anthropology to research other fields (for example, urban, medicine and so on), but do not develop a new paradigm. Enterprise Anthropology has been integrated into an international discipline, which has formed its own new paradigm. It takes “Social-economic Trans…

Ethnic Migrants’ Employment and Industry Distribution in the Cities of China
In recent years, urban researchers have differentiated the concept of ethnic niches into industrial and occupational niches. This research was done in four selected cities in four different areas of China: Shenzhen (South), Huhhot (North), Qingdao (East), and Kunming (West). An important aspect of understanding a multiethnic city is to explore the labor market performance of ethnic groups. This paper mainly covers the employment and industry dist…

This study, involving a questionnaire and personal interviews with participants from more than 10 ethnic minority groups, explores the work and learning experiences of ethnic migrant workers in China's Beijing and Shenzhen. The study reveals that China's ethnic migrant workers face multifaceted barriers in their adaptation to urban life. They worked for long hours with low pay. They experienced homesickness and isolation as a result of migration …
