多劳多得

• 병음: duō láo duō dé
• 한자 분석: 多 = more/greater; 劳 = 力 (strength) + 荧 (toil) — exertion; 得 = 彳 + 旦 + 寸 — to obtain; the phrase mirrors its own structure: more effort → more reward

뜻

일한 만큼 벌다; 많이 일할수록 더 많이 얻다

A core principle of socialist distribution theory in China, officially enshrined in reform-era policy as part of 按劳分配 (distribution according to work). Also widely used in workplace incentive systems, piecework pay structures, and motivational contexts. The phrase reflects a meritocratic value of effort-based reward and is often contrasted with 平均主义 (egalitarianism/equal shares regardless of effort).
