《礼记·祭统》
所以上面有大的恩泽，就一定要惠及下面，只不过上面的先得到而下面的后得到而已，并不是把上面的都撑死而把下面的都饿死。
是故上有大泽则惠必及下，顾上先下后耳。非上积重而下有冻馁之民也。
Therefore, if there are great blessings above, they must benefit the people below. It's just that the people above get them first and the people below get them later, not that the people above are all stuffed to death and the people below are all starved to death.
