What does order mean?

Order is a Chinese vocabulary, pronounced as zhì xù, a noun, which means to arrange all the components in an orderly and organized way in order to achieve normal operation or good appearance.

From where? Shen Congwen? "Autobiography of Congwen Growing Up": "The camp is located on the post road, which is very orderly." Ding Ling's mother IV: "Some old gentry who haven't gone to the countryside are keeping order in the city."

Order can be divided into natural order and social order. The natural order is dominated by natural laws, such as sunrise and sunset, moon loss and moon gain. Social order is constructed and maintained by social rules, which refers to the relatively stable relationship pattern, structure and state formed by people in the long-term social interaction.

Traditional definition

Because Hobbes believes that people are committed to self-protection and personal satisfaction, only strength (or the threat from strength) can stop people from constantly attacking each other. His works only emphasize the most basic form of social cooperation-staying away from violence and robbery.

He seems to have made the following assumption: as long as people can't attack others personally or infringe on their property, then positive cooperation that can produce industry, agriculture, knowledge and art will naturally arise.

In fact, it was not until the18th century that a group of thinkers began to think about why society could "run"-individuals pursued their own interests with extremely limited information, which not only did not cause chaos, but formed an orderly and fruitful society.
