Source: "The Analects of Confucius·Yong Ye": "The Doctrine of the Mean is the virtue, and it is the most important."

"The Doctrine of the Mean" has always been the core concept of our country's traditional culture. Wisdom has always been praised by sages of all ages. Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, due to the impact of Western technological development, this excellent traditional cultural thought has been deeply misunderstood by people.

To put it simply, it means self-management, complying with the laws of nature, and maintaining restraint and righteousness at all times. It is not the neutrality and mediocrity commonly understood by modern people.

Three-level theory

The first-level theory: not partial to the average, not easy. It means not deviating from one's goals and opinions in life. This is a recipe for consistent success. Confucius once said: "The Doctrine of the Mean is a virtue, and it has reached its peak! The people have been living for a long time."

The second level of theory: refers to the righteousness and peace. People need to maintain uprightness and peace. If they lose their uprightness and peace, it must be caused by excessive joy, anger, sadness, and joy. Anger can only be cured by joy. Excessive happiness can only be cured by propriety. The method of keeping etiquette is to respect. As long as you maintain a heart of respect or awe, justice and peace will last forever, and people's health will be protected.

The third level theory: the middle finger means good, yongyong, and middle. It means that a person should have a skill and be a useful talent; it also means that a person should stick to his position and seek his position in his position.
