It's really a wish that a new door leading to peace and prosperity could be opened to mankind.

Character and word breakdown:

盛世 a flourishing period; period of prosperity; a golden age.

I don't really like to do breakdowns like this, as the words altogether create their own unique meaning (encompassed in the main title above). Please take that into consideration.

We were actually looking for a way to say "family first" in Japanese when this proverb came up in the conversation and research. While it doesn't literally say "family first," it shows that the safety and well-being of your family is your first or most important priority. So, this proverb is the most natural way to express the idea that you put your family first.
