civil service system

The word "civil servant" is translated from Japanese "civil servant". Japan was called "civil servant" before World War II, and changed its name to "civil servant" after the war. France is directly called "civil servant"; The Federal Republic of Germany is called a "federal civil servant" or a "federal official". In today's world, many developed countries and some developing countries have followed the example of Britain, the United States and other countries and established their own civil service system, calling those who engage in official activities in the government "civil servants."

For a long time after the bourgeois revolution (until the end of 19), the government's management function was very limited, mainly to maintain social order and act as a "night watchman". The appointment of public officials is still dominated by the appointment system.
