In 1990s, post-80s novelists stepped into the literary world and came to fame by virtue of the network, the contest of new concept composition and the marketing operation. They showed the unique aesthetic tendency in their fictional creation process.The popularization interest presented in the fiction creation process of the post-80s novelists shows three features: firstly, the recognition for the starization of identity and the marketization of literature. Meanwhile, the recognition of identity prompts the diversification of literature, reflecting such good spirits of the post-80s as face reality calmly and show themselves positively; secondly, the "cultural snack" characteristics of consumer literature are embodied everywhere in the fiction creation process of the post-80s novelists, offering readers instantaneous aesthetic enjoyment through publicized jest and sad narrative, moreover, based on the requirements of aesthetic taste and market, the post-80s writers pay more attention to the outside the formal beauty than ever before, which shows in such aspects as the cover binding, illustration, printed form, promotion planning, etc.As the rebellion to the traditional aesthetic values and the ambiguity and confusion on the value position, the post-80s novelists often show the aesthetic consciousness of mind with confusion, fund of coolness and rebellion. Through radical, exaggerated actions, which are also inconsistent with social order, system or rules, they show "the beauty of negation" of the groups they belong to and to deny the norms of reality and to reject the adults' pressure. They describe their exposure of tending to cool and sense of tragedy through cruel scenes, and obtain strangeness aesthetic effect by deconstructing the existing writing order, which are revealed in the following aspects: in terms of language, the post-80s novelists constructs their own language system in the creation process, mixed with spoken, written and network languages freely; in terms of form, through the resolution and reconstruction to the style of the fictional text, the subject hybrid and mixing of genres, the creative subjects intervene everywhere of the works; post-80s novelists are not longing for the grand narrative. Their creations surpass the predecessors' macro-narrative framework centering on "Atman"; instead, their creations are the recognition of the society and reality in which they survive, the understanding and expression to their inner feelings and the presentation to the aesthetic personality and the self-introspection of individuals.Post-80s have obvious uncertainty on their aesthetic ideal; they deliberately seek to make innovative changes but cannot break away with the traditional restrictions. Therefore, they run to the ridicule imitation. However, regardless of whether the post-80s have formed their own firm aesthetic ideal, their aesthetic pursuit of innovation and change has demonstrated the positive mental outlook of this generation. Aesthetic education in school shall be concerned about the young people's unique aesthetic ideal of the young people presented by the post-80s novelists, and shall be regarded as the breakthrough to the aesthetic ideal education of young people in the new era. The aesthetic educational function of literature shall be reconsidered; the core status of aesthetic appreciation of literature in the functional structure shall be emphasized. We shall emphasize that the literary aesthetic education is the best way to guide readers to appreciate literature in appreciating the literary works, to remodel the young people's aesthetic personality and promote healthy and harmonious growth of the adolescent.
