The people-oriented modern spirit of the connotation, first of all in the people-oriented people's feelings. The so-called people's feelings, that is, as the main body of the people, full of respect, care and love for the people, containing the idea of civil rights, public opinion, people's livelihood, people-oriented and democracy. This modern spirit of people's feelings is closely related to and qualitatively different from the "people-oriented" ideas of traditional culture. In ancient times, in order to safeguard the interests of the ruling class and consolidate the stability of the regime, intellectuals and the ruling class put forward a kind of "people-oriented" thought which is different from the "ruler-oriented" and "official-oriented", that is to say, the ruling class is required to take the people as the basis for the government.
