政治(zhnɡzh)
主要有两种用法：其一，指治理国家所施行的一切措施。政指统治者规定的法令、制度、秩序;治指对百姓的管理、治理，是政的具体实施。其二，指国家治理达到稳定良好的状态，即政治清明、经济繁荣、天下太平。近代以降，政治转指政府、政党、社会团体或个人在国内、国际事务中采取的政策、措施和行为等。
Decree and Governance / Politics
The term has two meanings. First, it refers to all measures for governing a country. Zheng (政) stands for decrees, rules, and ordinances, and zhi (治) refers to their implementation, that is, the way in which the people are governed. Second, it refers to a state of stable and sound governance of the country, with an efficient and clean government, a prosperous economy, and a peaceful society. In modern times, the term is used in the sense of politics, as it refers to policies, measures, and actions that governments, political parties, social groups, or individuals adopt in domestic or international affairs.
