Features: Entropy is the corresponding concept of exergy, which, to a certain extent, represents the orderliness of a system. The research object of generalized exergy analysis is the quality of a system, which is the usability of the system in relation to its environment. Here, quality is the counterpart of quantity. It is derived from engineering thermodynamics and holds universal methodological value. In thermodynamics, different forms of energy, or even the same energy under different environments, can produce different effects, which is rooted in the different exergies contained within them. If this brand-new methodological perspective is introduced into various fields of social sciences and people's daily thinking, it will have revolutionary significance.
