Nowadays, our life is becoming kind of aesthetic construction, which is definitely a striking phenomenon as the society and the culture changes. Aestheticization of EverydayLife is on the way being a global cultural phenomenon. It is of no doubt that the Chinese Aestheticization of EverydayLife results from the fact that the social structure and the culture is going through great transformation. If we can not have a integral command of those transformations, as well as the global politics, economy and culture, it is difficult for us to under the profound meaning of it.Based on the argument on Aestheticization of EverydayLife in current academic field, the paper analyzes on the issue of Aestheticization of EverydayLife in various perspectives with the comprehensive methodology of reflection- criticism- reconstruction. The practice in Chinese daily life is processing in a totally different background compared with the West because it has been under the double pressure from both the tradition and western cultures. The research on Aestheticization of EverydayLife Only should be placed in the following dialectic environment as mental to physical, theoretical to practical, macro to micro, localization in China to globalization so that new reflections and adjustments can be made towards the aesthetic relations between human beings and themselves, people and the society and nature. The final target will be achieved by what have been mentioned before, still needing effective reconstruction on the basis of reflection and multi principles.Currently, the main arguments focus on the context, main body, the value orientation, aesthetic and sensibility issues, which also arouse the argument on literature border problems. Either regarding the research methods and the research resources, or even for the production, none of which has achieved satisfaction. It is only a new beginning containing fresh phenomenon. Meanwhile, the argument inevitably has a great deal of theoretical and practical problems regardless of the superficial clamor.As for the theoretical resources, Fredric Jameson's theory puts forward a format combining semeiology and structuralism with medium. Mike Featherstone's theory follows the format integrating culture, sociology, and media, on the other hand, Wolfgang Welcsh's theory provides the format with traditional German philosophy and aesthetic study. All these theories probe into Aestheticization of EverydayLife from various angles, which surely plays an instructive role for us. On this basis, more resources should be found so that the study may proceed with multi methods.Mewed from the modern aspect, Aestheticization of EverydayLife can be regarded as its production. There is certain connection between the everyday life and the aesthetic study as a modern issue. The solutions in everyday life is of no doubt related with the aesthetic and artistic issues. The connection points directly to the social life's monotony, stiffness, and emptiness caused by the enlightenment modernity. The survival aesthetic is not only the resistance policy but also the realization of the deeper value.. It also proves that we should understand it not only in the long modern history and the after-modern context, but also take it as a paradox concept.From the view of aesthetic interpretation, the modern aesthetics has gone through ultimate transformation under the impact of Aestheticization of EverydayLife, which serves as a good opportunity for the reconstruction. The concept of aesthetics includes multi meanings and paradox, which predicts the possibility for its renewal. Today's aesthetics is becoming popular,practical and survival one. It can be fully understood that the Aestheticization of EverydayLife has brought enormous changes to modern aesthetics with regard to the current transformation in politics , philosophy, culture and society. In conclusion, the reconstruction of modern aesthetics should attach great importance to the following aspect. Firstly, the modern aesthetics should deepen the transformation on ideology and research modes. Secondly, it should be handled properly on the relations between aesthetic development and globalization, avoiding the conflicts between globalization and nationalism, as well as localism for the purpose of win-win target. Finally, the construction should be deeply rooted in the current social and cultural reality in China, not allowing it to stay in the kingdom of abstract logic.
