"An Ju Le Ye" is a commonly used commendatory idiom. Its literal meaning is to live in peace and engage happily in one's occupation. It describes people living in stability, working happily, and enjoying good social order. This idiom comes from the "Biography of Zhongchang Tong" in the Book of the Later Han. The original text is "An Ju Le Ye, Zhang Yang Zi Sun," which reflects the ancients' longing for an ideal society. In modern Chinese, it is often used to describe a scene of national peace and a happy life for the common people, and it can also be used to describe a region or community with a harmonious environment and satisfied residents. When used, it usually carries a tone of praise and affirmation, emphasizing the combination of social stability and personal contentment. For example, in government work reports or media coverage, it is often used to summarize the results of improved people's livelihoods. It should be noted that this idiom focuses on the overall state of life rather than merely material wealth, so it is often used alongside terms such as "Guo Tai Min An" and "Zheng Tong Ren He."
