This book provides innovative value for understanding government operation and has enlightening significance for improving the construction of government style. Based on the in-depth observation of government practice, this book analyzes the history and logic of public servants' behavior. This book studies the phenomenon of redundant meetings and paperwork from the perspective of public servants' daily behaviors. The main viewpoints are as follows: First, the daily behaviors of public servants at all levels of government are visible in content and homogenous in structure, mainly including writing, holding meetings, visiting, and receiving. These three kinds of behaviors have become the most important components of public servants' work. Second, through historical tracing, it proves that the emergence and change of the phenomenon of redundant meetings and paperwork are determined by the power field in history and depend on the design of political organizational structure, the pattern of political power relations, and the core value of political culture. Third, the characteristics of redundant meetings and paperwork are determined by the specific bureaucratic structure, and its behavior rules are determined by the centralized constraint, the internal volume of the bureaucratic layer, and the cultural inertia.
