This paper deals with local cultural capital as a motivator for entrepreneurial behavior in China. Following the Culture-Based Development paradigm (CBD), the current study approaches local cultural capital as an entity that can be temporarily segmented into living culture and cultural heritage and can be further differentiated type-wise into material cultural capital and immaterial cultural capital. The main hypothesis of this paper is that living culture and cultural heritage have different roles in the direction of effect on entrepreneurial behavior in China. To test this hypothesis, a quantitative research method is utilized and data is collected from China Statistical Yearbooks, the website of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage as well as the third and fourth China Economic Census Yearbooks, covering the period from 2010 to 2019 and regarding all 31 provinces of mainland China. This dataset provides indicators for both material and immaterial living culture, respectively represented by the total book circulations in public libraries and performances at art venues, while historical cultural heritage is approximated by intangible cultural heritage (such as the number of folk literature, traditional music, traditional dance and so on) and historical sites. For data analysis, an OLS regression is used to assess the roles of each kind of cultural capital on regional entrepreneurship development. Findings suggest CBD is applicable for analyzing entrepreneurship behavior and the result of the application of model shows a notable impact of culture on entrepreneurship activities in China.

The main aim of this paper is to explore and highlight the Kha Me Jatra as an important intangible cultural heritage of Bhaktapur and Nepal as well. Not only status and glory, but the unique identity of our nation is also represented by the temples, monasteries, images, feasts, festivals, the mountains, rivers, forests, lakes as well as various beautiful places. These globally renowned properties have made our nation peculiar, popular and prestigious in the world. Nepalese people observe and commonly participate the celebration of many wonderful festivals and fairs celebrated in different parts and days in the year. For instance, people of Bhaktapur celebrate different colorful festivals and Jatras on the special auspicious days of every year. Every festive event of Bhaktapur has its own specialties. Through the perspective of intangible cultural heritage among them, Kha Me is one of the important Jatra which is celebrated on the ninth day of Dashain, the greatest festival of Nepal. ‘Kha Me’ is a pure male buffalo which is reared in the name of goddess Bramhayani in Bhaktapur.  It is brought in Gathemunga festival and kept in the ground floor of the temple of goddess Durga. During the ninth day it is taken in an open street for the procession. It is a typical Jatra which represents indigenous feature and identity of Bhaktapur, the cultural capital of Nepal. But, unfortunately, this peculiar and popular festival has still remained an untouched issue of the academia. No one has explored and highlighted it as an intangible cultural heritage from the perspectives of cultural, religious and social significance.

Policy Shifts

The 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage formally recognizes intangible cultural heritage. This article focuses on Indigenous intangible culture and reviews the 2003 Convention, including what is it, how it has come about, how intangible cultural heritage is defined in it, and the policies arising from it. In tandem with the 2003 Convention, museums have adopted a living culture approach toward Indigenous cultural heritage. Indigenous peoples have been pivotal in these policy shifts. The article then considers universities and asks whether the 2003 Convention, and its policies, can guide tenure and promotion policy for the appropriate evaluation of Indigenous scholarship. The rationale for this comparative is that Indigenous scholarship is embedded in intangible culture. Using 2003 Convention as a baseline, this article offers a potential policy framework for establishing said process.
