Definition of the concept of traditional social order

The concept of (1) order

Order, also called order, corresponds to chaos and disorder. Order is always associated with consistency, continuity and certainty, showing an orderly state. Social order refers to the relatively stable relationship pattern, structure and state formed by people in the long-term social interaction.

(2) Law and order

Law establishes order. The reason why law can bring order is because the real meaning of order is that people's behavior in society is unified and conforms to the rules. Law is a code of conduct created by the state, promulgated by the ruling class in the name of the state, and abided by the whole society. Its purpose is to standardize and unify people's behavior.

There was no word "Bao" in ancient Chinese, but the word "Bao" expressed the meaning of "Bao" in many occasions in modern Chinese, expressing the commonly understood concept of "Bao". For example, "Therefore, a gentleman is safe and does not forget danger, but does not forget death and chaos. He is safe and the country can be protected. " The word "an" here is the antonym of "danger", just as "danger" means "danger" in modern Chinese, and "an" means the concept of "safety". As a basic word in modern Chinese, "Bao" has basically the same interpretation in various modern Chinese dictionaries. The fourth definition of the word "An" in Modern Chinese Dictionary is: "Peace; Security (as opposed to "danger") ",and lists examples such as" public security ","public security "and" turning the corner ". The interpretation of "safety" is: "There is no danger; Free from threats; No accident. " The first definition of the word "An" in Ci Hai is "An". In the meaning of national security, a sentence from "National Policy Qi Liu Ce" is quoted as an example: "Today's country has been settled, but the country has been safe."
