This term refers to the time of peace and prosperity envisioned by
Confucian scholars when all the people under heaven are one family,
equal, friendly, and helpful to each other (as opposed to xiaokang [小康]
– minor or moderate prosperity). Confucianism takes universal harmony as
the supreme stage of the development of the human society, somewhat
similar to the idea of utopia in the West
