The citizen's daily life, consuming consciousness, value of life, beautiful ideas and self-belief are all influenced by a kind of new notion, the consuming culture formed itself Shanghai school modern literature. Shanghai walks in the rank of the global great cities and finds its literature's expression ways. This chapter analyzes about the cultural logic of consuming culture, also analyzes and proves the old Shanghai's consuming cultural language in both theory and fact.The second chapter analyzes the desire narrate of Shanghai school literature and reveals the consuming essence of the desire narrate from one of the consuming cultural characteristic ------ the aesthetics about the daily life.

This trend shows on the illustrated of the publications, at the same time, the content of the literature's narrate begins to trend to the imaginary narrate principle. The different between literature text and imaginary text becomes less and less.

However, the city space's meaning Zhang'ailing wanted to express is a mixture of Chinese and western, new and old cultural abnormal product's communicational city's orient meaning.
