Abstract:

The indigenous approach of Chinese social science has benefited and begun to take shape from the efforts of two generations of scholars. However, it faces the challenge of defining its theory and methodology. On the basis of review and reflection, this article proposes the “relational dimension theory” and explains its origin, process and intrinsic meaning. It aims to deepen the understanding of this theory and help make it feasible for wide application with reference to the interpersonal relationship of tourism.
