A Historical Review of Rural Enterprises in Ethnic Tujia Areas: From an Environmental and Cultural Perspective

Abstract

A historical review of the rural enterprises shows that the development modes of TVEs in the 1980s and 1990s were unsustainable. TVEs used to focus on income exclusively while sacrificing the needs of rural ethnic residents, because the TVEs in those minority areas did not have sufficient ethnic characteristics. To play a more active part in rural revitalization, TVE development needs ongoing reform and deeper consideration from the perspectives of environment and culture.
