Undoubtedly, the benevolent government thought is the core of Mencius' political thought, and the people-oriented thought is the essence of Mencius' thought. He clearly put forward that "the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the light." So, Qiu Min is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is a vassal, and the vassal is a doctor. In his view, the political basis that determines the ruling position of the ruler is the opposition of the people, and the obedience of the people is the decisive factor to unify the world, from which we can see the truth that "the people are precious." Mencius believed that only by "protecting the people" can the world be "king", and the common people in the world are the most important. Therefore, the monarch must win the support and love of the people in order to maintain his long-term rule. Mencius saw the power of the people in the sharp and complicated class struggle, and thought that the premise of social stability was that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was also of positive significance at that time. However, the ultimate goal of Mencius' "people-oriented" thought is for "monarch-oriented". Or serve the ruling class.

Under the contemporary socialist system, especially at the Third Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, the Party innovatively put forward the "people-oriented" Scientific Outlook on Development: at the 17th CPC National Congress, "people-oriented" was further elaborated as Scientific Outlook on Development and written into party constitution. Adhering to the people-oriented principle means "always taking the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all the work of the party and the state, respecting the people's dominant position, giving play to the people's initiative, safeguarding people's rights and interests, taking the road of * * * common prosperity, promoting people's all-round development, and ensuring that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are enjoyed by the people.". In other words, all work is based on the interests of the people. The connotation of Scientific Outlook on Development is nothing more than the critical inheritance and perfect development of Mencius' "people-oriented" thought.

Human rights are human rights, human rights as human beings, human rights as human beings and human rights with dignity. In the past, "people-oriented" society, the rulers wanted to maintain the stability of the country and their own country. Finally, the people are still the people, and the monarch is still the monarch; People don't even have the most basic right to exist, let alone other rights. Everything is arranged by God and the king. In feudal society, people-oriented thought had certain advantages, but it could not cross the hierarchy gap. The people-oriented thought in contemporary society truly embodies the people-oriented thought. In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the development of human rights was summarized as an important aspect of the development of the cause of the Party and the country for the first time in the report of the Party Congress: for the first time, "respecting and safeguarding human rights" was written into party constitution, which officially became an important concept and value of the Party in governing and rejuvenating the country. The report proposes to "respect and protect human rights and protect the rights of all members of society to participate and develop equally according to law", and the subject of human rights is "all members of society".
