This book takes the intellectual groups in Shanghai and Beijing from 1927 to 1937 as the research object, and uses newspapers, archives, diaries, anthologies, chronicles, memoirs, etc. As the basis of data to outline the daily life of intellectual groups in modern Chinese cities. This paper examines the class position of the intellectual group and the discourse resources developed in different dimensions of daily life such as diet, communication, leisure, clothing, etc. To construct a sense of identity and legitimacy. The process of competition for these resources not only promotes differentiation within the knowledge group, but also gives rise to the class consciousness and collective action of the knowledge group as a whole.
