What Heaven has conferred is called The Nature; Accordance with this nature is called The Tao; Cultivating the Tao is called Education. Zhong (Mean) is the great root of the universe, Harmony is the penetration of Tao through the universe. When Zhong and harmony exist in perfection, and a happy order will prevail throughout heaven and earth, and all things will be nourished and flourish.
