What do we mean by "petty bourgeoisie"?

The so-called petty bourgeoisie is not very poor but not extravagant. Most petty bourgeoisie have a popular occupation, such as manager, salesman, producer, technical expert and office clerk. Of course, freelance writer, SOHO family, advertising copywriter, DJ or photographer are even more popular occupations.

Petty bourgeoisie has no prominent position and power, and seems to be insignificant ordinary people, but for ordinary workers, they are a symbol of success: they are neatly dressed, indifferent and elegant, and their stable income makes them worry about food and clothing, and their self-confidence seems to be depressed.

Petty bourgeoisie refers to an exclusive personal romanticism, which originally existed independently of social groups. However, in today's era, it has evolved into a social and cultural phenomenon, and even become a special title for a specific social class. More precisely, petty bourgeoisie is regarded as another name of middle class culture and has evolved into a social fashion trend.

Petty bourgeoisie can become the mainstream of society because this group has accepted and recognized cultural values, whether it is kitsch, unconventional or decadent. As long as the petty bourgeoisie likes it, it can form a climate.

The present forum of reading world is firmly ruled by the style of petty bourgeoisie. Petty bourgeoisie articles occupy a dominant position, forming a climate in the recitation field, which can be regarded as the representative of "advanced culture" in "Theory of Three Represents". It seems that reciting the works posted in the world is not a weighty article without romance, affection and petty bourgeoisie. In my opinion, this is not only misleading to readers who come to recite heaven and earth, but more importantly, this petty bourgeoisie sentiment will seriously restrict the healthy development of heaven and earth in the future.
