When describing his ideal society, Mencius said, "Old people are old, young people are few, and young people are few." This is related to Confucius' understanding of the world of great harmony: "An old friend is both a relative and an only child, so that the old can have an end, the young can be useful, and the widowed and lonely can be raised." The idea is in the same strain.
