What is the connection between the popularity of the Middle Way and Chinese tradition?

In today's society, most people can't resist the temptation to forget their ancestors, thinking that the moon is fullest abroad, and that foreign cultures are advanced and excellent, and attacking our own traditional cultures with a blindfolded conscience, thinking that our country's own traditional cultures have brought about nothing but disasters, backwardness, and lack of progress, and that the traditional cultures have brought about nothing but disasters, backwardness, and lack of progress, and that the traditional cultures have brought about nothing but disasters, backwardness, and lack of progress, and that the traditional cultures have brought about nothing but disasters. self-serving.

The most attacked of the traditional cultures are, by and large, Confucianism and the Way of the Mediator. For one thing, they think that Confucianism is a culture of slavery, but they have failed to see some of the important roles that Confucianism has played in governing people's hearts and minds, promoting morality, and stabilizing society.

The second is that those who have not understood and studied the Middle Way accuse the Middle Way thought of being a dyke of human nature who teaches people to be unprincipled, to make peace, and to be wise. They feel that people are not enterprising, and they attribute the backwardness of modern China to the middle way of Confucianism.

These are just some of the one-sided views of the frogs in the well, and there are many more people in this society who have bright eyes. Knowing the ins and outs of the Middle Way, we can realize that the Middle Way, as a kind of wisdom of life, has had a positive impact on the Chinese people. This is the reason why the Middle Way is so popular among Chinese people today. And it is also inextricably linked to Chinese tradition.

Confucius, as the founder of Confucianism, highly respected the middle way, Confucius once praised: "the middle way as a virtue, it is to go on," and regarded the middle way as the highest level of life. Confucius, as the founder of Confucianism, highly prized the middle ground as a virtue. In fact, history also proves that the reason why the Chinese nation can stand in the forest of the world's nations in the midst of countless catastrophes is not only because of the stabilizing effect of Confucianism on politics and society, but also because of the far-reaching influence of the realism and rationalism of the Middle Way in the way of thinking and the wisdom of life on the values and ways of doing things of the Chinese people.

The above is just my personal view on the issue, not very comprehensive, if it is not in line with your ideas, please take it easy.
