Doctrine of the Mean
Recently in China, the New Confucians revisited the Classics, because of its strong foundation in the educational system. Using the "Doctrine of the Mean" has become a useful source for New Confucians due to the similarities in the terminology and expression used by them and found within the text. This is further reinforced by the support from ancient sages and worthies who prefer education systems more closely linked to traditional Confucian thought.
