Both Taoists and Confucianists maintain that everything developing towards one extreme will turn to a reversal of it. Convinced of the principle, the Chinese people remain cautious even in time of prosperity, and hopeful even in time of danger. And this theory inspired the historic debate about the doctrine of the golden mean.
儒家:复,其见天地之心。
道家:反者道之动。
从日用常行来:寒来暑往,暑往寒来。日盈则昃,月盈则食。
皆谓否极泰来,居安思危,过犹不及,中庸之道。
