Wu-Yue Rulers' Thought and Administration of Attaching Great Importance to and Benefiting the Masses of the People

Wu-Yue rulers' distinctive people-oriented thought in the Five Dynasties is characterized by the three respects: taking military operations and making administrative policies in accordance with the people's interest; regarding the people's interests as superior to their own; rulers of the lower levels are bold in presenting petitions for the people. The rulers' people-oriented thought results from their concern about the sufferings of the people and their realization that those who lose the support of the people are bound to fail. Wu-Yue rulers' people-oriented thought and administrative policies lay a solid foundation for the economic development and social stability of the country.
