Abstract : 回顾开埠前的上海社会状况可知，那时它无疑是一个传统文化浸润下的小县，不论生活还是风俗都与江南其他地区大致相同。战争打开了中国的门户，也将一种新的生活方式和文化带入了中国，带入了上海。从此，上海人从衣、食、住、行等各方面开始有了一些新的变化，伴随这些生活变化的是人们世界观、人生观的变迁。这些变迁都是在西方文化影响下发生的。面对历史与现实，上海人在痛苦与彷徨中醒悟，在希望与憧憬中奋进。借助历史的机遇，上海成为中国的第一大城市，上海人也由此引领中国社会变迁的潮流，并为中国的变革提供了借鉴。同精英文化相比，大众文化往往可以深入到社会的最底层和最深层，充分展现社会的各个方面。因此，要想全面了解一个时代、一个区域真实的社会状况，研究其大众文化是必须的。对清末民初上海市民生活状况及观念的了解和研究，就是通过对当时大众文化的概览来透析转型期社会的变迁。上海乃中国的具体而微，通过勾勒上海的变迁就可看出整个中国社会变迁的轨迹。
