Abstract: The concept of “Zhong” is important in the thoughts of both Confucius and Aristotle. It embodies a philosophical concept of pursuing balance and avoiding extremism, expressing the idea of maintaining moderate harmony and following a principle of moderation in everything. Over the course of more than two thousand years of history, two great philosophers, Confucius and Aristotle, have conducted in-depth exploration and research on the “Way of the Middle”. Confucius was a great philosopher, educator, and politician in ancient China. His ideas constructed Confucianism, and the doctrine of the mean was also one of its core concepts. Aristotle is one of the most important thinkers in the history of Western philosophy, and his ethical theories also emphasize the values of the Middle Way. This article will explore the views of Confucius and Aristotle on the “Middle Way” and further understand the enlightenment of this universal value to us.
