Abstract: From the leisure point of view,"Aestheticization of Everyday Life", whose essence is the leisure of everyday life, enjoys certain rationality but suffers much blindness. The intense debates on it in the contemporary circles of Chinese literature, aesthetics and culture are actually rooted in the misuse of aesthetic concepts. Aesthetics is the highest level of leisure; the current everyday life is of leisure, but it is too early to be affirmed as aesthetic. Inspired by the debates, we should adhere to the aesthetic orientation of leisure and try to improve everyday life leisure to be aesthetic.

Key words: aesthetic, Aestheticization of Everyday Life, leisure
