Abstract
The concept of golden mean (Zong Yong), i.e. moderation, is the core idea of Confucianism. Over the past thousands of years, the ideas of rectitude, moderation, harmony, objectivity, impartiality, and 'one should never act in excess' have permeated into all aspects of people's life and become the highest criterion in dealing with life issues and social discrepancies or disagreements. Numerous Chinese medical literatures have been published in this regard...As one of the five therapies recorded in Su Wen (Essential Questions), tuina is an important part of Chinese medical therapies and its principle and practice are both greatly influenced by the concept of golden mean. This paper aims to investigate the incfluence of the concept of golden mean on tuina manipulation, treatment strategy and practice.
