In the current academic discourse, "Body" is an increasingly prominent topic for its high-frequency. Body issue research has gradually become a significant study both at home and abroad, and it has also become the start point for humanbeings. In modern society, people lose themselves in a rich material life and obtain a sense of belonging in the process of pursuing itself. Body is the nature of human existence and it dominates the daily life of humanity. Body is closely related to the daily feeding, clothing, accommodation and transportation etc.The first part: Introduction. There are two problems in this part. The beginning part gives a simple exposition for the logical premise of the paper. The aesthetic context provides an "aestheticization of daily life" for this body issue. With the development of Chinese society and the process of globalization, the aestheticization of daily life in China has become a new topic. Body, as the essential existence for humanity is closely related to daily life. But due to the reason of the aestheticization strategy of daily life issues, the aestheticization of daily life is inevitably biased by Chinese scholars. In particular, the body performance in daily life is ignored. The daily state of body is wrapped by the symbolization and the desire. Aesthetics is an important part in people's daily life; it cannot be separated from the living world. Body plays the dual role of subject and object in aesthetics, and it always closely combines with people's everyday life. So body separated from the daily state in commercial society cannot really involve with aesthetic activity in daily life. Therefore, this paper brings up the body research in the aesthetic context to fight against present situation. Thus, body can be reunited with the daily life. It is hoped that this research could get back to the specific person's body and return to the real living world.The reason that body has become a focus is the second major problem in this part. Traditional philosophy for body to circumvent is the most fundamental reason. The body discourse contradicts the traditional rationalism in modern thinking. The economic construction makes a solid foundation for modern thinking to release body. Multi-cultural collisions provide social foundation for knowing about body. The alienation of the human in the materialized world leads to the shortage of the human spirit. All of the facts compel people to pursuit themselves.The second part: This part reviews the historical evolution of the body in the aesthetic context. Section one takes the concept as a turning point and divides the development of the human body art into five parts according to the art history. Narratives focus on the humanity of human body' art. Art has always been people's understanding of a unique perspective on life. From ancient to modern times, the body art has experienced a process of humanity oppression-liberation--indulgement in the field of art. In the process of body art development, it can be seen the status of body in the long course of human history has changed. In the development of body in aesthetic theory, the author grasps one clue that Nietzsche--Eagleton-Shusterman to illustrate their contribution. Body is logical starting point in the aesthetic thinking of the three individuals. But the body aesthetics does not have its own independent system. The building of body aesthetics is a daunting task.The third part: The problem of body in the aesthetic context. The development of the problem of body in whole theory provides a good theoretical basis for body theory in the aesthetic context. The performance of the problem of body is sexual desire and mechanization in the aesthetic context. The aesthetic education for the young people plays a vital role in modern society. In the process of literary creation, body has also become an unavoidable issue to the research. More attention should be paid to these issues. Only by solving these problems, can people construct the body aesthetic better.The last part: Conclusion. This part is a summary for the full text. People should create a correct understanding of body: neither too restrictive nor too much public. People should combine the emotion and ration together, and respect and care the body.
