Cultural literacy inherited from parents, high-quality educational opportunities, and exchanges with elite intellectuals inside and outside China played a major role in creating the life and aesthetics of Ling Shu Hua. From Bourdieu’s point of view, Ling Shu Hua has been placed in a very favorable environment for the accumulation of social capital. Habitus, a family of noble aesthetic tastes and traditions, allowed Ling Shu Hua to form an aesthetic attitude that appreciates nature and pursues a spiritual state integrated with nature. Also, the occupation of social capital based on high-level education, cultural capital of study abroad experience, and human network not only established a reputation as a writer but also successfully differentiated it from other writers. Therefore, in order for an author to consider the meaning of the travel experience that begins in the process of making a travel journal, it is necessary to understand the relationship with the accumulation of cultural and social capital. If you look at Ling Shu Hua’s travelogue, you can see that a new perspective has been formed while enjoying nature on trains and buses, and that is modern transportation. Importantly, the occupation of cultural and social capital is deeply involved in this aesthetic experience. Ling Shu Hua’s social capital allowed for the occupation of another symbolic capital called ‘transportation’ and continued cultural activities. This means that control over the economic, cultural, and social capital of a particular group guarantees practical behavior of group members and provides an environment to sustain it, while also widening the cultural enjoyment gap with other classes. Therefore, a writer’s travel experience and creation as last point of his or her cultural practice are the process of establishing social status, revealing power, and building identity through ‘Habitus’ with the group to which the writer belongs.
