The leisure is the basis of individual's life, the individual can both remove his body's strain and, get spiritual loosening .The current rural women's leisure time compared with formerly greatly increased, but their spirit actually void day by day, they lead a monotonous, vulgar leisure life. Playing cards, watching TV, chats, in which kinds of these room passive activities dominate their leisure life. Their leisure merely stays in the leisure condition, not having reached to the planned leisure, not to say the Leisure implication. There are five reasons for their monotonously, vulgar, and low quality leisure: They have not entrusted with the value which the leisure should have, they have not entrusted with the leisure to their own development profit, there are not enough leisure facility in the countryside community, individual, the family and the structure limited their leisure, the family centering life condition have affected their leisure.The cultural capital has three kinds of existence shapes: cultural products, cultural ability and system conditional cultural capital. Rural women's cultural capital is in the inferiority in quantity and the quality. Their language ability, appreciation ability, values, learning capability, power of thought, public relations ability are all very low, which are by the character of pragmatic and life-rization. Their cultural products are the products which related to their production and everyday life. The elegant cultural products such as books, dictionaries, and the arts are the scarce resources for them. As the vulnerable group of the social, their education is generally in the low level. So their system conditional cultural capital is in the lowest level of the whole society. With the influence of the thin background of family inheritance, the unfair of school education as well as the insufficiency of the social education, the cultural capital rural women have gained and the accumulated are very less and in a low quality.The leisure takes the culture as a background, and the foundation, simultaneously the leisure also is the cultural creation, the cultural appreciation, and the cultural construction process. Any individual's leisure is in the basis of their cultural capital, they also unceasingly accumulate and construct their cultural capital in the leisure. They are deprived from leisure right by the traditional culture's control status in rural women's cultural capital, which result to the dispensable manner to the leisure. The rural women are lack of leisure consciousness and intention as a result of the value of being a good wife and loving mother, that they won not seek the leisure time for themselves. The small quantity of the rural women's culture product makes them a sole leisure life, some modernized, elegant leisure activities are far away from their life. Because of the low education level, rural women's cultural ability are not strong, their culture accomplishment is lofty, they lack the absorption and digestion ability to elegant leisure, can only enjoy lowly horizontal, and quality leisure. The traditional culture is always carrying on all sorts of standards and the restraint to rural women's leisure, thus their leisure characteristic has the very heavy traditional culture color. The leisure time is the premise of the cultural capital's accumulation, their leisure time has not been able to promote the cultural capital accumulation although the rural women have enough leisure time, because they cannot effectively assign and use their leisure time. Their monotonous leisure also limited them to accumulate the rich cultural capital, did not favor them comprehensively to raise and to promote their cultural ability. The leisure process contains the using process of cultural ability, as well as the cultural capital's accumulation process. The rural women took the social weak trend community, living in the backward and impoverished countryside, with a low income and living standard, effected by the traditional sex anticipation, in addition to the countryside society's closeness and conservative, most important of their low education, and the cultural capital they have accumulate are inferiority in the quantity and quality, they are imprisoned in the family role, they can only enjoy the vulgar, monotonous leisure. Their leisure only occupies relaxation and amusing, that the cultural capital which constructed in the leisure is quite limited. We can say that the storage of their cultural capital and their leisure are tripped in a vicious circle because of their mutually affects. In order to improve their leisure life condition, and their cultural capital quality, the social must give them better education, developing the country economy, enhancing the leisure the value, improving rural women's social position and improving the feminine life, leisure environment obtaining.
