Confucianism has stated that luxury is against Mei (ethics) and Bun (ethics) of Kunshin Sonpi (knowing the difference between the ruler and the ruled or between the aristocrat and the plebeian) and is a great defiance against social order.
儒教では、贅沢は君臣・尊卑の名(倫理)と分(倫理)からの逸脱を意味するとされ、社会秩序に対する重大な挑戦と考えられてきた。
