review text: In this paper the authors express their opinion that one of the most important tasks now is to seek for the definite guiding principles which explain the emergence of Yang-Mills theory and on the bases of which we can proceed towards a more satisfactory formulation and definition of the theory. They review some of the attempts along this line of thoughts from two specific viewpoints, namely, the space-time uncertainty relation as a possible universal characterization of the short-distance space-time structure in string theory, and the possibility of a microscopic theory of black holes from the viewpoint of the D-brane matrix model. A generalized space-time uncertainty relation suitable for M theory is proposed.
