【内容提要】文化杂食是文化社会学研究探讨文化品味与社会地位之间关系的重要概念。西方社会精英的品味模式从“势利”到“杂食”的历史转变是早期文化杂食研究的核心论题之一，但既有研究相对忽视了文化杂食现象的变迁。本文以音乐品味为例，考察了 1999 年至 2023 年中国城市居民文化杂食的基本情况，发现中国城市居民的文化杂食水平在过去二十多年间稳步提升。与西方社会从“势利”到“杂食”的转变过程不同，这一改变更有可能是我国社会各阶层获得更多文化消费选择、文化品味变得多样化的结果。

From Snobs to Cultural Omnivores?A Study on Trends in Cultural Taste among Chinese Urban Residents（1999-2023）

Abstract: Cultural omnivorousness is a key concept in cultural sociology that examines the relationship between taste and social status. A central debate in early studies on cultural omnivorousness revolves around the historical shift in Western elites’taste patterns from“snobbery”to“omnivorousness”. However，existing studies have tended to overlook the temporal dynamics of cultural omnivorousness since then. Drawing on three datasets collected between 1999 and 2023，this study uses musical tastes as a case to investigate the patterns and historical trends of cultural omnivorousness among Chinese urban residents. The findings reveal a steady increase in cultural omnivorousness among Chinese urban residents over the past two decades. Unlike the shift from“snobbery”to“omnivorousness”observed in Western societies，this change in China is more likely a result of various social strata gaining access to a wider range of cultural consumption options and expanding their cultural tastes.
