Features: When you realize the "Way of Harmony and Balance," you will understand a simple truth: even in awkward interpersonal relationships, a family on the brink of disintegration, or a group filled with intrigue, "harmony" still faithfully guards you, because the "Way of Harmony and Balance" is the psychological path that builds harmony. When the author speaks of "harmony" at Peking University, it is not to directly elaborate on "harmony," but rather to explore some distinctive elements from the roots of traditional Chinese culture, such as "zhong" (center), "he" (harmony), and "people-centeredness." From several perspectives, he showcases the cultural background and depth of "harmony," on one hand tracing thousands of years of traditional classics, and on the other hand addressing reality correctly, raising questions for discussion with students, such as: "The nation depends on people, but what does the people depend on?" or "For whom should we be people-centered?" People are the foundation of building a harmonious society. Once the foundation is found, there will be more motivation and confidence to move forward positively, more cultural awareness of "building a harmonious society," and more self-esteem, discipline, and self-reliance for "national rejuvenation."
