The Doctrine of the Mean is the core of Confucianism. The so-called
"mean" by Confucius doesn't mean "compromise" but a "moderate" and
"just-right" 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
