The world is the proprietary conception of the world for the East Asian peoples. It literally means "under the sky" and has no geographical or spatial limitations, although it is also used in different ways to describe a certain geographical concept. The concept of heaven is accompanied by a certain principle of order, and is the worldview of a certain region, people, or country. Even if the people of a region do not have a clear worldview, their concept of "the world" is established according to a certain order.

The Chinese concept of the world refers to the space dominated by the emperor of the Chinese dynasty and governed by certain universal principles of order. The territory under the direct control of the Chinese dynasty, which was the center of the world, was called "Xia," "Hua," "Zhongxia," "Zhonghua," "China," and "Zhongguo. These territories were called "Xia", "Hua", "Zhongxia", "Zhonghua", "China", and so on, to distinguish them from the surrounding territories such as "Sifang" and "Yi". However, they were recognized and accepted if these territories accepted the principle of order under the sovereignty of the Chinese emperor.
