Is the Confucian golden mean harmful to China people?

Moderation is harmful. It pays attention to the way of balance and neutralization, which reduces major issues to minor ones and restricts a country's development and innovative thinking. When a country develops to a certain extent, this kind of thinking can no longer meet the needs of the times, and must be replaced by new things, abolishing the old system rather than neutralizing it. The development of every country is constantly advancing on the road of reform and innovation. The Reform Movement of 1898 in ancient China laid the foundation of Marxism, as well as European literature and art, which is impossible! This obviously does not conform to the laws of nature, just as human beings keep dying and new life appears. If you don't reform, you will inevitably die. This is the law of nature!
