Ancient Confucianism attached great importance to self-cultivation and personal cultivation, as well as words and deeds, which is still of reference value to us today. Some people have many wrong interpretations of the doctrine of the mean, thinking that the doctrine of the mean means being a good person, muddling along, muddling along, not striving for progress, and sticking to the rules. Others think that the doctrine of the mean is just to find the middle line and avoid going to extremes, neither left nor right. This is a wrong understanding.
The golden mean is a way for China people to treat people with things, and it is also one of the core concepts pursued by Confucianism. Nowadays, many people misinterpret the original intention of the golden mean, and there are many problems in dealing with people and things. True moderation does not mean that there is no specific attitude. The doctrine of the mean refers to the "sincerity" that is impartial and free from evil thoughts, and the methods and responsible attitude that prevent the work from being overdone and out of place to achieve the expected good results. Be sincere, not irresponsible, not extreme and not out of line.
Treat work with an honest heart and a responsible attitude. It's not unprincipled concession, nor is it. Not for nothing, but for nothing. You should know your priorities, pay attention to the big and the small, not the beard and eyebrows. The rational use of rights should not only adhere to principles, but also be flexible and not rigid. For some principled issues, we must stick to it and not take the middle route.
The golden mean, to ensure your correct words and deeds, is not the beginning or the end, not eclectic, not to do nothing. We should use our own experience and rich knowledge to solve complex problems and find suitable methods.
