In recent years, with the advent of consumerism, "aestheticization of daily life" has become a widely recognized cultural phenomenon. "Aestheticization of daily life," the arrival of the phenomenon, not only closely linked with social and cultural development, it is important that it not only involved in literary theory, aesthetics and other issues, but also with the plight of contemporary mass linked to the survival of groups. As the German scholar Wells said, "Everyday Aesthetics" includes both "shallow aesthetic", and connotation of "the aesthetic of the deep." The former refers to the "aesthetics of daily life" appears on the one hand decorate everyday life, so full of life, the external image of the aesthetic atmosphere. In addition, it is also to promote the prosperity of popular culture to promote the boundaries of art and life gradually melt and enhance the aesthetic appeal so that people had a positive effect. However, should not be overlooked is the "deep aesthetic" more implies the pursuit of the spiritual care and living situation. Because the ideology of the consumer era filled with the generalization of the increased aesthetic, aesthetic began to sink, the mass of the main daily life in the pursuit of sensual pleasures over the desire to meet, the loss of a spiritual depth. Resulting in their current consumerism, the prevalence of nihilism, the subject and began to lose self-consciousness, spiritual exile, worth gradually missing.Therefore, the face of "aestheticization of daily life" by creating the emotional mass'increased alienation, and thus brought the plight of contemporary human existence, we should uphold the knowledge elements should have the power of cultural criticism, from the value of the position on a spiritual height to examine the generalization of the aesthetic moment and sink.It can be said that the aesthetic ideal is to get rid of instrumental reason the grip of daily life, people alienated from daily life, free from the abyss.

"aestheticization of daily life" embodies in the deep meaning of human existence with the state of thinking on the meaning of human values and survival concerns. Therefore, in summary of a series of art of Western scholars rescue scenario, I think that in the current context of the subject to achieve the public Art of survival is the face of "aestheticization of daily life" in the salvation of the best policy. It reflects the aesthetic value of the classical position and significance of cultural criticism. "Aestheticization of daily life," the ideal in life is to make the main access to artistic, aesthetic significance of sustenance.
