Leisure Consumption Of Chinese Urban Middle Class Social Network Interaction

In China, middle class have already early a scale. The population proportion of the middle class is 15% in 10 kinds of Chinese social strata. The quantity of the middle class is very low, but the small part of elite has created some special consumption behavior, life style and social value attitude. They will bring into the important values in our society. Middle class is the social strata which has valid pay ability. Leisure consume with some quantities is one of their consuming characteristics. Their healthy leisure consume pattern will create the rule influence and the comparison influence.According to the theory "Any economic action is embedded in the social networks", the leisure consume is embedded in the social networks. The leisure consume and social networks are the interactive progress.Whether leisure consume is health or not will directly influence the social networks' health. Middle class can get more social resources by building and extending social networks in the progress of the leisure consume. It is the argument in my article that many people formatting social networks in leisure consume. In the article, I made this conclusion based on the questionnaire and case study: Majority middle class leisure consume in the city is on the health. Healthy leisure consuming pattern will format the healthy social networks. And minority non-healthy leisure consuming pattern existing in middle class will form the non-healthy social networks. Healthy and high quality leisure consuming patterns and harmonious social networks are exemplary demonstration for the other social strata (especially inferior social strata).
