Abstract: Phenomenology concerns the life world. With the unique perspective and method, Hermann Schmitz, a German contemporary phenomenologist, expounded a series of concepts with special meanings, proposed the life world theory in new phenomenology, and reconstructed a world of daily life experience. The base and source of the daily life world is the primitive life experience without conscious processing, which is disclosed and unconcealed in the criticism of traditional thinking paradigm. The content of the world of daily life experience is infinitely rich. The most important components and structures are subjective facts and the elements based on them, including the concrete subjectivity, state of affairs, situation, the emotions as atmosphere and so on. Reflected by the corporeality, body dynamics, and body communication, the phenomenological body, which is the link that connects the various components and structures, realize the reconstruction of daily life experience in new phenomenology. In a sense, the new phenomenology is also a bodily phenomenology.
