The Doctrine of the Mean is the core of Confucianism. The so-
called “meanâ€?nbsp;by Confucius
doesn’t mean “compromiseâ€?nbsp;but a “moderateâ€?/p>
and “just
-
right�nbsp;way when understanding
and handling objective things. Confucius advocated that this thought should not only be
treated as a way to understand and deal with things but also
be integrated into one’s
daily conduct to make it a virtue through self-cultivation and training.
The Doctrine of the Mean is not only the core of Confucianism but also an important
component of traditional Chinese culture. From the time it came into being to the present,
it has played an invaluable role in the construction of national spirit, the transmission of
national wisdom, and the development of national culture.
