This study used the1988-2009 household survey data of S.
city. It mainly does research on the impact that class and
status have on consumption pattern. It was found that what
influence consumption expenditure is status, but not class;
the eating habits of different classes are relatively stable,
so what influences the outer consumption is status but not
class. Both class and status have significant impact on
culture consumption. Hence, class and status have different
explanation effect on consumption pattern, but the degree of
class structuration has close relationship with consumption
pattern. When it is high, not only the consumption culture
of different classes is different, but also is the consumption
culture of the group of different status. In the development of
social economy, with the consumption culture individualized
the impact that status has on consumption pattern decreases.
