The Doctrine of the Mean was originally an essay from the Book of Rites, which was first extracted and compiled into two parts by Han Dynasty Confucian scholars. Later, Emperor Wu of Liang wrote a commentary titled Commentary on the Doctrine of the Mean in one volume, elaborating on its principles. The Song Dynasty Confucian scholars, the Two Cheng brothers, particularly promoted it. Cheng Yi believed that this essay was a classic passed down by Confucius' school for teaching the heart-mind method, and those who read it well would find insights that could be applied throughout their lives, with some aspects remaining inexhaustible.
