Happiness is the aim of life and virtue is the foundation of happiness. It is necessary to lay out a road map towards building a new economy of well-being using an accounting system for measuring the well-being conditions in communities that are grounded in the values and virtues that matter most to citizens. This system can be called as Genuine Wealth. China's Xiaokang seemed to suggest a society of green GDP accounting that was based on the notion that genuine well-being achieved when the majority of households have met their material needs; people are living lives of moderation and there is equitable distribution of material needs for all. This very practical philosophy of moderation promises to yield a peaceful and harmonious society.China is genuinely committed to this new path of so-called harmonious development and developing new measures of well-being and progress.
