常时节是西门庆的朋友，《金瓶梅词话》中的次要人物，也是明代后期小市民阶层的代表。在《词话》中，常时节的特殊之处，在于他以一介贫民，却能维持、发展与西门庆的“贫贱之交”，从而得到西门庆的资助，解决住房与生计问题。他之所以靠西门庆的施舍而不是自己的劳动为生，既是因为明代后期普通劳动者收入微薄，也是当时的社会风气使然。此外，通过常时节这个人物，也可以一窥明代后期小市民的消费观念和消费行为，并预测其最终命运。

In addition ,the consumption conception and custom of citizens in low class of the late Ming Dynasty can be seen from Chang Shijie .And it helps to predict their final fate .
