– The Doctrine of the Mean
Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
Zhongyong XIII. 2.
"In the Book of Poetry, it is said, 'In hewing an ax-handle, in hewing an ax-handle, the pattern is not far off.' We grasp one ax handle to hew the other; and yet, if we look askance from the one to the other, we may consider them as apart. Therefore, the superior man governs men, according to their nature, with what is proper to them, and as soon as they change what is wrong, he stops.
Legge XIII.2.
‘忠’和‘恕’两种准则极近于中庸之道：不愿意加在自己身上的，也就不加在别人身上。
