Based on the survey data of CGSS2017

this paper makes an empirical analysis of the stratification of Chinese residents' leisure lifestyle

and based on Bourdieu’s theory of capital

investigates the influence of individual cultural capital and economic capital on individual leisure lifestyle. The results show that: first

the individual's economic capital and cultural capital significantly affect the individual's leisure lifestyle. The more economic capital and cultural capital an individual owns

the greater the total quantity of leisure activities the individual gets. Second

the current leisure lifestyle of Chinese residents shows a trend of stratification in terms of age

household registration

occupation

income level and education level

which reflects the unequal distribution of leisure resources in the whole society. Therefore

policy measures should be taken to reduce leisure inequality and improve people's sense of acquisition and happiness in their leisure life.
