Abstract: Ethnic villages are an important part of rural society in ethnic areas and the basic carrier of minority agricultural culture.With the promotion of rural revitalization strategy,cultural and tourism industry has become the main way to develop economy and promote rural cultural and industrial revitalization.Starting with Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital,taking some ethnic villages in Xiangxi (western Hunan) as samples,combined with field analysis,this paper constructs the logical framework of capital differentiation,including field,cultural,economic and social capital.From the cultural resources,the development of cultural and tourism industry and its social organizational relationship,the ability of village elites,social network and so on,this paper makes a general analysis on the differentiation field of cultural and tourism industry in two different types of ethnic villages,and discusses the corresponding differentiation and governance strategies.This paper lies in the introduction of cultural capital theory,which expands the path and perspective of village research in ethnic minority areas,and deepens the understanding and interpretation of the issues of village cultural and tourism industry differentiation.

Key words: ethnic villages, cultural and tourism industry, cultural capital, differentiation, Xiangxi
