Abstract Elite writers were disappointed and anxious because petty bourgeois showed a natural affinity to popular novels but were indifferent to their new literary works, so they called these readers ＂feudal petty bour-geois＂. We will redefine the vague concept of ＂petty bourgeois＂, analyze the deep reason why there was a veil between the ＂pigeonhole writers＂ and ＂petty bourgeois＂, and show that the one character difference between ＂wei reu sheng＂ and ＂wei sheng huo＂ tells the different needs on the part of different readers of elite culture and popular culture. In the plural structure of culture, such confrontation between elite culture and popular culture has not lapsed into stalemate, but showed the metropolitan variety and charisma through their toughness and eomplernentation with each other.
