What is politics?

First of all, there is no standard definition of the word politics.

Political scientists and politicians of past dynasties have discussed it from different angles and different emphases, but so far there is no recognized exact definition.

Second, Marx's definition and understanding of politics?

Definition: Politics is the superstructure based on economy, the concentrated expression of economy, and the sum total of various social activities and social relations centered on political power.

Understand:

(1) The root of politics is economy, politics is the concentrated expression of economy, and political relations are ultimately determined by economic relations;

② The essence of politics is class relations. In class society, class nature is the basic feature of politics;

The core of politics is political power. State power is the fundamental problem of political power, and any class must master the supreme sovereignty over the country or society if it wants to achieve its own goals;

④ Political activities are both science and art ... Politics, as a social phenomenon, has laws to follow.

Third, China's ancient politics.

1, "politics" generally refers to: (1) the system and order of the dynasty, such as the "Song Dynasty Rebellion"; (2) a ruling and administrative means, such as "ceremony, music, punishment and politics"; (3) Moral cultivation in line with etiquette, such as "the politician is right, the son is handsome, who dares to be wrong"; (4) The government activities of monarchs and ministers in the imperial court, such as "they are in the government, and they help the government with Han Qi".

2. "Governance" generally refers to: (1) a stable and peaceful social state, such as "the world is governed by love"; (2) Governance activities such as governing the country, such as "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world"

The meaning of these "politics" in ancient China was completely different from that in the west and ancient Greece. Politics, to a great extent, is only the activities of monarchs and ministers to maintain rule and govern the country.

V. The origin of "politics" in modern China

The modern word "politics" in Chinese comes from the same word "politics" created by Chinese characters when Japanese translated western languages. When British politics was introduced into China from Japan, people couldn't find the corresponding words in Chinese. Sun Yat-sen believes that "politics" should be used to translate, and that "politics is everyone's business, governance is management, and managing everyone's business is politics." What he said was very influential in China at that time.
