As China entered the commodity economy society, people's thinking has changed dramatically. After the disillusionment of ideal and faith, more and more people began turning to secular concerns of life and satisfaction of individual desire, the attitude to live in the supreme happiness of life got people generally recognized. So the popular culture full of secular, began to rapidly rise and occupy the dominant position of culture, while the elite culture was declining and growing marginalized constantly. In this social background and culture context, aesthetic culture develops toward the secular inevitably. Facing this new feature of contemporary aesthetic cultural, many scholars have criticized it, but the author through sorting out the specific process of secular forms of aesthetic culture evolution, concluded that the secular is an inevitable trend to the aesthetic culture in today's society, there is the rationality of its existence. And through several specific cultural patterns, the author detailed analysis to aesthetic characteristics of a secular culture. The conclusion is that the secularization feature of the aesthetic culture should be divided in a manner of a look, we must see it as a positive role for the cultural development, but also aware of its negative impact,and alert the secular slide into vulgar. This would better guide the aesthetic cultural towards the continuous development of healthy and benign.This article divides into five parts.The first chapter defines the two concepts "the aesthetic culture" and "secularization" respectively, and analyses the relationship between them and the change with social development.The secend chapter begins from the development process of the mass culture,the typical form of secular culture, the process can be divided into three stages for study, and thus sorts out and summarize the process of secular forms of aesthetic culture evolution to grasp the characteristics of secular forms of aesthetic culture from the whole and historical angle. The third chapter on the basis of the previous chapter, concludes that the two factors, that are, electronic media and consumer culture, in the form of aesthetic culture to the secular evolution process, play an important role, this further proves that the aesthetic culture of secularization in contemporary society is an inevitable option.The forth chapter analyses the television entertainment programs, commercial films, internet KUSO and copycat culture, advertisement, practical arts, which are specific types of aesthetic cultural practice, present and parse its secular characteristics, have the detailed and in-depth grasp to the phenomenon of secularization on the aesthetic and cultural characteristics of the specific performance of. different culture media.The last chapter has a deeper thinking some problems in the aesthetic culture development, for example the debate on the elegant and vulgar in the development of secular forms of aesthetic culture, how to deal with secular forms in the aesthetic culture. The secularization feature of the aesthetic culture should be divided in a manner of a look, we must see it as a positive effect, such as bringing the democratization of culture, but also aware of its negative impact, such as developing the vulgar culture.The elegant of aesthetic culture and the vulgar of mass culture are not diametrically opposed, we can take them both into the culture system and obtain the advantages of them, thus the aesthetic culture could not only satisfy the cultural needs of the public but also maintain its healthy and positive developing direction.
