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 transmitting the essence of their teachings, and that diligent readers who delve into it can benefit from it throughout their lives, with its wisdom never fully exhausted.
