What is Confucian people-oriented thought?

In China's traditional legal thought, there is a people-oriented concept of "people are the foundation of the state". Confucianism believes that "the people's livelihood is the foundation of the monarch, and the people are also considered" [1] and Confucianism has practiced the concept of heaven in primitive religion for the people, raising the people to the status of god.

On the one hand, the Confucian people-oriented thought shows its concern and attention to the people, and advocates "attaching importance to the people", "loving the people" and "people-oriented"; On the other hand, it is manifested in their demands for the rulers' "virtue" and "virtue", and they advocate the implementation of "rule by virtue" and "benevolent government". What they highlight and pay attention to is not the majesty of nobles, but the will of civilians; It is not the right of nobles, but the fate of civilians.
