What does the golden mean?

the doctrine of the mean is a core concept of Chinese culture, which means to be neutral, to be balanced and biased, and not to be biased or excited. Specifically, the doctrine of the mean refers to the pursuit of balance and harmony in moral concepts and ways of life, not blindly following, not being extreme, neither being biased towards extreme conservatism nor being biased towards radical innovation, but advocating a calm and objective judgment on things and facing everything with a righteous and modest attitude.

The doctrine of the mean originated from the chapter "The Doctrine of the Mean" in The Analects of Confucius. It is also one of the cornerstones of China's ancient Confucianism and regarded as one of the important values and ideological systems of China's traditional culture. In modern society, the spirit of the golden mean has also been absorbed and cited in the fields of life and management, and it is considered as a universal philosophy of life and wisdom.
