The idea of creating an "aristocratic city" is the concentrated expression of Farabbi's social view and happiness view.

Influenced by Plato's thoughts on human social morality, education and politics. Expressed in the Republic and the Law, Farabbi put forward the idea of creating an aristocratic society, that is, an aristocratic city. This idea is embodied in his book Noble City Residents' Book, which was carefully written in his later years. This book probes into the necessary conditions for establishing an aristocratic city, thus embodying Farabbi's social view and happiness view. The concept of happiness advocated by Farabbi is very distinctive, and some expositions still contain certain practical guiding significance even now.
