How to understand the Confucian explanation of "people-oriented"

The Confucian interpretation of "people-oriented" is as follows:

The word "people-oriented" first came from the Song of Five Children in Shangshu. The original sentence is: "The emperor has an order, and the people are amiable, so you can't go down. The people are the country and the country is better. " This is a poem written by Xia Kang's younger brother to exhort Xia Kang.

It means that the people are the foundation of the country. As rulers, we should respect, value and love the people, realize their strength, exercise self-discipline and cultivate good virtues. Handle civil and state affairs cautiously.
