Abstract: As a kind of human life state, leisure and labor are closely related and complement each other, and constitute the basic living pattern of human beings. With the continuous development of productive forces, building a better working life and a better leisure life has become the key to a better life for human being. An in-depth interpretation of Marx's leisure thought is conducive to the clarification of labor and leisure relationship, and to the exploration and solution of the contemporary problems related to labor and leisure. Marx's leisure thought takes the standpoint of people's nature as the core of logic, and justice, harmony, aesthetics and happiness as the value goals. In practice, we must lay stress on leading leisure subjects to establish a scientific concept of labor and leisure, concept of ecological consumption and the awareness of ecological leisure responsibility. Therefore, we need to construct the tripartite coordination mechanism of leisure supply, and help establish a correct view of labor and leisure, and realizes the care of people's own life meaning in leisure practice with quality leisure supply, effective leisure education and formal leisure systems.

Key words: Marx's leisure thought, view of labor and leisure, people's nature, leisure practice
