“小康”一词最早见于《诗经·大雅》民劳篇:“民亦劳止,汔可小康”。很明显,这里的“小康”指的是“轻徭薄赋,予民休息,让老百姓过上小安康乐的日子”。后来儒家创始人孔子阐释“大同”、“小康”思想时,把“小康”视为“大同”的前一阶段,指以天下为家,靠礼仪关系来维持的社会。 The term “well-off” was first seen in the “Book of Poetry Taiga” part of the people’s labor: “people are not only forbidden, but can be well-off.” Obviously, “a well-to-do society” here refers to “a day when people are relieved to let their people live a good life in peace and happiness.” When Confucius founder Confucius explained “Datong” and “Xiaokang” thoughts later, he regarded “a well-to-do” as the previous stage of “Datong” and refers to a society which is maintained by all over the world and maintained by ritual relations.
