明朝中后期旅游活动空前普及化、大众化 ,形成了全国性的旅游热潮。这种热潮的形成是与商品经济撞击下新的生活方式、思维模式、价值取向密切相关的 ,从而达成了一种追求旅游的”群体意识”。明朝中后期的旅游热具有重大的社会意义 :它相应地促进了交通、旅舍、食店、茶馆、酒肆、戏院等行业的发展 ;促使旅行家们对旅游理论进行探索 ,丰富了中国传统的旅游文化体系 ;形成了影响后世旅游事业的四种审美模式 。

Tourist activities in the mid and late Ming Dynasty became unprecedentedly universal and popular in the entire country. The development of commodity economy then brought about new style of life, mode of thinking, form of value , etc, and this gave birth to a popular sense of seeking tourism. This upsurge had a very important social significance: It promoted the development of such trades as transportation, hotel, restaurant, teahouse, wineshop, theatre, etc; It impelled the research of tourist theories and thus enriched Chinese cultural system.It brought about four aesthetic patterns, which was influential to later tourist industry.
