均无贫

　　“均无贫”指财富均等、分配公平，人们就不会感觉贫穷的存在。这是孔子提出的治国理政思想。“均”即公平、均衡，人人各得其分；“贫”与“富”相对，指得到的财物少。依据孔子的看法，人们或贫或富，不仅取决于财富的绝对值，更直接取决于财富的相对值，即收入差距。如果收入差距过大，即便财富绝对值不小，也会有人感觉自己贫穷；反之，如果收入差距不大，即便财富绝对值不大，人们也不会感觉到自己贫穷。

　　With Equality, There Is No Poverty

　　This term means that when wealth is equal and its distribution is fair, people will not feel there is poverty. This was a concept of political governance propounded by Confucius. Jun means fair and balanced, with everyone receiving a share. Pin, in contrast with fu, means receiving less. In Confucius' view, whether a person is rich or poor is not determined only by the absolute value of his wealth; it is determined rather by its relative value or the gap between the differences in income. If the gap is excessively large, some will feel poor even if the absolute value of their wealth is considerable; on the other hand, if the gap is not large, people will not feel poor even if the absolute value of their wealth is low.

　　引例盖均无贫，和无寡，安无倾。（《论语·季氏》）（财富均等就不会感觉贫穷存在，和睦相处就不觉得人口寡少，社会安定就不会发生政权倾覆。）

　　When wealth is fairly distributed, people will not feel poor; when people are harmonious, they won't feel few in number; when society is stable, those who govern will not be overthrown. (The Analects)
