Summary "中庸章句" by Xi Zhu is a philosophical text likely penned during the Song Dynasty in the late 12th century. This work delves into the concepts of moderation and balance, drawing upon principles attributed to Confucian thought, and aims to articulate the importance of maintaining equilibrium in personal conduct and governance. The opening of "中庸章句" presents a detailed exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of moderation. The text introduces concepts such as the balance between human desires and the universal moral order, emphasizing the significance of understanding and maintaining one's intrinsic nature. It discusses historical figures, such as Yao, Shun, and Yu, illustrating their wisdom in governance and morality as examples for readers to emulate. The tone is both reflective and instructional, aiming to educate future scholars on the essential virtues of a well-lived life aligned with the principle of "中庸" or the Doctrine of the Mean.
