Confucius said, "Too much is too late." Is the idea embodied in this sentence consistent with "harmony is precious"

Harmony is the most important thing, which is the principle of moral practice advocated by Confucianism. From "The Analects of Confucius": "The use of courtesy, harmony is precious". In other words, the function of ceremony lies in its smoothness. It means that everything is handled according to etiquette, that is, all kinds of relationships between people can be just right, and they can be properly mediated to make them harmonious with each other.

Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

Explanation: excessive; Jude: Yes, yes; Less than: out of reach. Doing too much is just like not doing it, which is inappropriate.

Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, asked Confucius who was smarter, his classmate Zhang Zi or Xia Zi. Confucius said that Zhang Zi often exceeded Zhou Li's requirements, while Xia Zi often failed to meet Zhou Li's requirements. Zi Gong asked Zhang Zichao if it was better. Confucius replied that the effect of exceeding and failing is the same.

Therefore, the "harmony" of "harmony is precious" is not "harmony", and the emphasis is just right, which is almost the same as going too far.
