Why is people's mediation the "first line of defense" in maintaining social stability?

People's mediation is a legal system with Chinese characteristics and deep traditional cultural connotations of the Chinese nation, and it is a non-litigation dispute resolution method created by our people to resolve conflicts and eliminate disputes. It has the characteristics of being rooted in the grassroots, widely distributed, convenient and quick, and does not hurt feelings, etc. It has a unique and irreplaceable role in resolving disputes in other dispute resolution methods, and is therefore known as the "first line of defense" in resolving conflicts and disputes.
