Many people think that the idea of "people-oriented" originated from the Renaissance in the west14-16th century. Others believe that it originated from the ancient Greek philosopher protagoras (490-42 BC1). In fact, "people-oriented" originated in ancient China.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong (725-645 BC), the prime minister of Qi, said to Qi Huangong, "The husband is the overlord and the people are the foundation. The reason is that the country is solid and chaos is dangerous. " Meaning: The cause of Wang Ba has a good start, which is based on the people. Only when the country is fundamentally straightened out can it be consolidated. If it is fundamentally screwed up, the country will be in danger.

Visible, China's "people-oriented" formulation is at least 200 years earlier than the West.
