Is people-oriented the same as China's ancient people-oriented thought?

People-oriented thought is different from China's ancient people-oriented thought.

People-oriented, which is emphasized in modern society, inherits China's ancient people-oriented thought, but there are essential differences. China's ancient people-oriented thought embodies the simple value orientation of attaching importance to the people, and to some extent, it plays a role in easing class contradictions and reducing the burden on the people. The "people" in the people-oriented thought is relative to the "monarch" and the ruler, and its essence is to maintain the ruling position of the feudal ruler.

People-oriented, insisting on putting people's interests first, embodies the historical position of the people as masters of their own affairs, and embodies our party's ruling philosophy of "building the party for the public" and "ruling for the people". The formulation of "people-oriented" is itself a requirement for "officials". "People-oriented" is empty, and "official-oriented" is real. The ideal figures created by people-oriented thought are "a wise monarch" and "an honest official".

Similarity between people-oriented and people-oriented thoughts;

1, both of which attach importance to the role of the people: China's traditional people-oriented thought advocates "loving the people" and "being close to the people", thinks that the relationship between the monarch and the people is like the relationship between a boat and water, and emphasizes the important position of the people in governing the country; The present "people-oriented" fully reflects that the people's dominant position and role are becoming more and more obvious, and the people are the creators of history.

2. Both of them attach importance to the realization of people's happy life: China's traditional people-oriented thought pays attention to people's real life and emphasizes the need to love, enrich, unite and benefit the people; Now people-oriented also emphasizes that the work of our party always adheres to the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and the ultimate goal is to realize the all-round development of people and let the people live a happy and prosperous life.

3. Both of them are requirements for officials: China's traditional people-oriented thought is based on the division of "officials" and "people" in society, and "people-oriented" aims to limit and restrain the monarch's behavior by shaping the moral character of kings and officials; The essence of people-oriented is the same, which requires cadres at all levels of our party, especially leading cadres, to bear in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly.
