In the Analects of Confucius Yong Ye, Confucius said: "The golden mean is also a virtue, and it is excellent." The doctrine of the mean is the commanding height of morality. Zisi wrote The Doctrine of the Mean out of concern for the loss of Taoism. Zhu initiated the theory of orthodoxy and took "allowing people to get lost" as the true biography of orthodoxy.
The doctrine of the mean, taking "zhong" as "body" and "grasping zhong" as "use", is the fundamental criterion and the highest realm of Lide's self-cultivation.
The winner is right. As the "middle" in the moral category, it is its most fundamental and core value orientation to adhere to the right path, not to be eccentric, not eccentric and not selfish. The virtue of the golden mean, in short, is impartiality, and "choosing the good and being stubborn" is the essential feature of the golden mean. Confucius praised Yan Hui: "If you return to life, you can choose the golden mean. If you get a good deed, you will be convinced, but you will lose something. " Yan Hui's way of life is that he chooses to pursue the golden mean. Every time he learns something useful from it, he will keep it firmly in mind and develop his own good character, which will never be lost. To choose the mean is to choose good and justice.
The virtue of the golden mean is mainly embodied in the following aspects: caring for the public, managing the family diligently, respecting courtesy and justice, preventing evil from being strange, being sincere and rejecting falsehood, and obeying feelings, that is, following the principles of the world, adhering to the best and sincerity, and maintaining the morality of fairness and integrity.
The doctrine of the mean cannot be limited to the way of doing things. It is not as simple as grasping the boundaries of interest measurement. Not only impartial, but also without shortcomings. "Human justice" is its core, and "choosing goodness and stubbornness" is its value pursuit. The doctrine of the mean is a philosophy of action, belonging to benevolence, courtesy and the doctrine of the mean.
Zisi advocates the doctrine of the mean, "developing all things, the extreme of heaven", and encourages gentlemen to "respect morality and seek knowledge, be broad and subtle, and understand the doctrine of the mean". The virtue of the golden mean is extremely valuable in its sincere obedience and persistent adherence to the principles of human justice, human justice and social justice, and its implementation in the cultivation of qi and peace and in ordinary daily life.
"The Doctrine of the Mean" said: "The one who is in the middle is also the foundation of the world; He who is in harmony is also in the world. Neutral, the status of Heaven is awkward, and everything breeds. " This means that the golden mean is universal and supreme, everything is overwhelming and the world is prosperous. Neutralization has been achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and everything has developed and grown. The doctrine of the mean is also a world view.
However, "Tao is not far from people", and the virtue of the golden mean must proceed from the concrete things that exist at present. The spirit of "extremely bright and moderate" is to advocate doing ordinary things with the spirit of transcendence. With the generation and accumulation of a series of positive value meanings in the process of ordinary life, and the inner recognition and encouragement of the constantly generated self-value meanings, even ordinary life can build a meaningful world in the spiritual field.
The doctrine of the mean is the way of heaven and earth, the way of life, the way of mind and the way of doing things. As a teacher, the golden mean is the core of teachers' morality, and its extremely dedicated spiritual pursuit, rigorous and realistic learning attitude, serious and responsible teaching behavior, self-disciplined personal demeanor and decent and solemn professional image are the concrete manifestations of teachers' moral personality.
