Definition
家道 refers to a family's financial standing or prosperity, often used in literary or formal contexts (e.g., 家道中落 'family fortune declines'). It can also mean the principles or methods of managing a household, akin to 'housekeeping' in a broad sense. The word is more abstract than a simple translation — it carries connotations of tradition and continuity.
