Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to concern the community festival of a Jing minority village in the
China–Vietnam border area. Since it was designated as a national-level Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006,
the festival has undergone many changes. The festival has steadily expanded and evolved, assuming
characteristics of globalization. How is the globalized character of the Wanwei festival manifested? What are
the forces behind the elevation of this local festival onto the register of national events and how did it turn into
an event organized by the township?
