      abstract = {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.},
