摘要
From the axiological point of view, the Confucian Tao of Zhong can be interpreted as Golden Rule (do unto others as you like them do unto you), and Tao of Shu as Silver Rule (not do unto others as you do not like them do unto you). They are two different, yet correctional demands for morality. Apart from moral rules, some thinkers like Mozi in the pre Qin times, proposed Brazen Rule (do unto others as they do unto you). The Brazen Rule in itself is non moral; it was nevertheless used to explain how the calculus of individual interests could lie the moral foundation for a society. The calculations under the Brazen Rule are threatened by Iron Rule (don unto others as you like before they do it unto you). One of the intentions of the Legalist politics was to let Iron Rule ineffective in order to guarantee the validity of Brazen Rule.
