For LaoShe studies, the majority of the researchers study on his works from cultural criticism and humor through one's tears to explore in-depth research, but describing the city bottom rung in his novel was rarely concerned. This paper attempts to make a new understanding and interpretation for Laoshe's social bottom describing from the daily life of the city bottom rung in Laoshe's novel.This paper consists of three parts; the first chapter describes the daily life of the bottom. First, it catches a glimpse of the cultural psychology, state and relation that draw from the daily life of bottom described by Laoshe and living environment of Beijing and the social bottom influence each other. The majority of the disadvantaged in Laoshe's novel living in old Beijing that is scarce in conditions of social material life. They live in tenements, small alley that bottom carries the memory of suffering are in poor living conditions. Secondly, I discuss Laoshe used the everyday language to write little things about the bottom to more close the social and to explore the major social root of bottom's miserable life. Finally, I discuss that through writes the daily little things Laoshe describes the bottom rung's living conditions is extremely hard. Whether they are driver, policemen or underlying women, they must solve the primary problem is survival. They work hard but the hard life goes down and their descents are hard life too.The second chapter discusses the bottom rung figures in the city were wrote by Laoshe. There are rickshaw pullers like Xiangzi. Explored how he was driven by money. He is excessive attachment, so his idea was distorted by money and become slaves of money. The puller whose name is Laofeng was against the force of the social. The bottom women were paid particular concern by Laoshe. Mainly depicted a prostitute and a small brides, some of them in order to survive, in order to "not hungry" to become a prostitute against their will and to lead a miserable life disgracing humanity; some of them while married women because they are "buying" and abuse. Lao She is a "people's artist", he also wrote the bottom artist's pursuit of art and their growth and maturity in society. Policeman was called "Pawn" was described by Laoshe too. Laoshe was calling the born of a fair world by the old Policeman's life.The third chapter focuses on the reason for Laoshe wrote the bottom in the city. First of all, Laoshe's childhood and middle age have had the experience of lower-class life, during this period he has the greatest influence on his mother, so he continued to care for the lower-class, that life experience established the foundation of his novel writing in the future. Second part is the influence on the ages. "May Fourth" movement and the left wing g initiated developed and enriched his literary creation and provided him with the authoring tool of the vernacular. The left-wing literature provides him a deeper understanding for his characterization of the bottom. Third is the influence of religion. Laoshe was had a deep influence on the master whose name is Zongyue when he contact with Buddhism early. Later the Christian humanitarian, equality, salvation also penetrated into his literary creation, he depicts the bottom's daily life permeated with a religious bent.
