Abstract
|
Confucius is the exploiter of the five thousand-year Chinese civilization. All the Chinese cultural soal of thoughts can be found in Confucius’s ideology. Confucius has inherited and developed the thought that the“Middle”and“Harmony”since Yin and Chou. He has set up the connection with“Middle”and“Common”, and has brought forward the concept of“Golden mean”.“What’s Middle? It is the fundamentality to make the world peace. What’s Harmony? It is a philosophy of life. If we reach Middle and Harmony, all things in heaven and the earth will coordinate and all things will raise.”Golden mean of human thought is the outstanding achievement in the cultural history. Its effect can not be ignored in inhibiting individual behavior, instructing the philosophy of life and safeguarding national stability and development.Inheriting and developing the ancient Greek wise men’s“Harmony”and combining with the real world at that time, Aristotle brought forward the Golden mean theory. The so-called“middle way”is“moderation”“well situated”. It also means a middle state of“no excess and no lack”. In Aristotle’s opinion, Golden mean is put as the highest kindness and virtue.“Virtue is Golden mean, and it is regarded as the highest kindness and extreme beauty.”The two great thoughts have influenced generation after generation. We use language to take notes the thoughts, so there must be some spoors left in the language. Words and expressions are the core part in language. The differences between the East Golden Mean and West Gold mean are obvious in Words and expressions. We use the words and expressions as the point of penetration to compare and analyse the differences between the two thoughts. Such comparative and analysis have important theoretical and practical significance in generalizing and spreading culture.
