This paper stems from the bases of the macro-view of the theories of The Realization of the Chinese Dream and the research into the Chinese social reality and the present situation of the media, also in accordance with the developments in the field of Communications and the social requirements for The Realization of the Chinese Dream, we will put forward the path and the direction of the research into Media Happiness:The research of media should meet the needs of the human spirit.This paper firstly reviews the theory of the Chinese Dream suggested by the social transformation theory and thus put forward the theory that Media Happiness is the theoretical imagination of psychological energy. We also Discusses the connotations and extensions of Media Happiness aiming to study the influence of media on audience happiness. Secondly, according to the related cognitive and needs theories of communication and psychology, this paper analyzes the psychological mechanisms pertaining to the effects of Media on an audience's sense of happiness, and also explores both the positive and negative aspects namely:"the media, subjective well-being" and "the media, negative emotional experience" to from a model that emphasizes the view that media nourishes the heart, and then we propose the steps and methods to foster the sense of happiness.
