Comparing with traditional business startup，social entrepreneurship is a new concept. Despite the disagreement among researchers on how to define social entrepreneurship，the concept is generally redeemed as the balance between the dimension of “entrepreneurship” and that of “society”. From the perspective of entrepreneurship，social entrepreneurship is a newly emerged and higher-level activity in which a social entrepreneur integrates innovative economic objectives with their social objectives. In China，social entrepreneurship is a relevantly new topic in both research and practice. However，social entrepreneurship has been developing with its unique characteristics. Currently，China is embarking on a journey of fully building a modern socialist country，developing a social governance model based on collaboration and common interests and rural construction strategies. It is anticipated that social entrepreneurship，with its advantages in its mission to realizing social values and entrepreneurial ecosphere，can play an important role in creating new forms of entrepreneurship，including female-owned social entrepreneurship，digital social entrepreneurship，and community social entrepreneurship.
