《淮南子·俶真训》
这个时期，民众肆意而行、自由自在，也不分东和西；一边咀嚼着食物，一边拍打着肚皮游荡嬉戏玩耍；大家一起承受着苍天所赋的中和之气，享受着大地所赐的恩德；不以曲巧、是非互相怨恨，天下浩荡兴盛，这就叫 大治 。
当此之时，万民猖狂，不知东西；含哺而游，鼓腹而熙；交被天和，食于地德；不以曲故是非相尤；茫茫沉沉，是谓大治。
During this period, the people act as they wish, free and unrestrained, not divided into east and west; chewing on food, patting their bellies, wandering, playing and having fun; all together bear the harmonious energy given by heaven, and enjoy the grace given by the earth; they do not accuse each other with cleverness or wrongs, and the天下浩荡兴盛, this is called Great Order.
