Abstract：In contemporary society, capital and political power extend their tentacles to every corner through the horizontal magic of space. Extensive economic cooperation, social restructuring, cultural interaction, and urban-rural integration require solutions that involve more spatial thinking. Understanding the operational mechanism of spatial power is of great significance. With the help of social representation and discourse power theory, this study reveals the idea of social space proposed by Lefebvre, and reconstructs the relationship between the representation of space, the practice of space and the represented space. The findings indicate that: 1) "The representation of space" forms social representations of space from the perspective of social psychology theory, and subsequently manifests as spatial discourse at the practical level, influences human minds and behavior, plays the role of power. 2) The power subjects of various eras construct space and its related spatial discourses such as cognition, concepts, knowledge, policy systems, language symbols, etc. based on realistic needs. 3) The logic underpinning modern spatial governance lies in the existence of politics and capital power operation mechanism in social space，which constructs and articulates space and its discourse, and through this process, they regulate individual and social practical behaviors, subsequently reconfigure social space. In this study, the ternary dialectical relationship of "practice of space, representation of space and represented space" in the production theory of space is transformed into the relationship between spatial discourse, social practice and social spatial reconstruction.
