Abstract：The current research on representation and related issues is mainly carried out in two aspects: One is the analytic philosophy approach, which focuses on the definition of representation, explaining "representation" with "representatives". The other is the historical tradition, whose main concern is the historical tradition of representation practice, focusing on the historical diversity of representation practice. On the whole, these studies are generally epistemology-oriented with the purpose of knowledge quest. However, in order to effectively reflect the democratic spirit and respond positively to the democratic demands of the times, it is even more necessary to study the representation issues from the perspective of democracy theory with the purpose of seeking governance. This first means that representation in democracy should be understood from the perspective of “selection” rather than “election”. In addition, it also means, on one hand, compared with the epistemological issues such as “what is the definition of representation” and “what are the historical traditions of representation practice”, effectively solving the problems of “distortion of representative identity” and “the quality of representation practice” in democracy are more urgent and important, on the other hand, reasonable representation practice is not based on the definition of representation and traditional representation practice experience, but on the long-term interaction between representation and democracy, in which the effective representation practice can not only promote the rationality of representation practice, but also enable the coordination and unity of representation practice and democracy.
