The Chinese idiom jìpín fúkùn (济贫扶困) expresses the virtue of helping those in need, particularly those who are poor or struggling. Literally, jì (济) means "to aid or relieve," pín (贫) means "poverty," fú (扶) means "to support or lift up," and kùn (困) means "distress or hardship." Together they form a phrase deeply rooted in Confucian ethics, emphasizing compassion, responsibility, and moral action in society.

In English, jìpín fúkùn is often translated as "to aid the poor and support the distressed." Yet its meaning is broader—it calls us to balance self-cultivation with social awareness. To walk the path of taijiquan or qigong without extending compassion to others would be incomplete. Each breath we take in practice can also remind us to lighten another's burden. In that way, ancient virtue finds its living form in the modern world.
