This Key Concept pivot explores the trajectory of the semantic
generation and evolution of two core concepts of ancient Chinese
Confucianism, 'Zhong' (middle) and 'Zhongyong' (golden mean). In
the pre-Qin period, Confucius advocated 'middle line' and 'golden
mean' as the highest standards for gentlemanly behaviour and
culture. In The Doctrine of the Mean the Confucian classic of the
late Warring States Period, 'middle' obtained the ontological
meaning of 'great fundamental virtues of the world', due to the
influence of Taoism and Yinyang School. It became not only the norm
of human behaviours, but also the law governing the operation of
heaven and earth. Since then, idealist Confucian scholars of the
Song and Ming dynasties have developed the meaning of 'middle' from
the perspective of the relationships between heaven and man, a
fundamental norm of Confucian ethics.
