The nation is based on the people

The people-oriented state is a Chinese idiom, pronounced B ā ngy ǐ m í NW é IB ě n, which means that the existence of a country needs the support of the people.

explain

It is a reflection of the people-oriented thought of ancient Confucianism, which holds that the people are the foundation of the country. Governing the country should be based on securing and benefiting the people. The idea of "people-oriented" was born in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. "Min" is the meaning of common people, opposite to "Jun". "Based on the people", in Mencius' words, "the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least.". Before the Tang Dynasty, there was only "people-oriented", not "people-oriented". After Emperor Li Shimin became emperor, in order to avoid the emperor's taboo, "Shi" was renamed "Dai" and "Min" was renamed "Ren". Therefore, "people-oriented" has become "people-oriented". But in the Tang Dynasty, the meaning did not change. "People oriented" is aimed at the monarch, while "people-oriented" compares people and things.
