Doctrine of the mean as one of the Confucianist classical documents, is the important literature basis of the later generation's Confucianism studies. There is always so much discussion about the book and the focal point mainly concentrates in the author and days of the book. The traditional viewpoint believed that, Doctrine of the mean is written by Zisi who is grandson of Confucius, finished in Warring States time. But the Song person Ouyang Xiu is the first who oppose this view. He thought Doctrine of the mean isn't written by Zisi. His challenge to the traditional view had opened prologue of the author question argument. Besides above two viewpoints, the academic circles has another viewpoint also, thinks Doctrine of the mean although possibility completely or partially written by Zisi, but it not actually a whole, it may included two or more parts. This article through to analysis and the summary the senior scholar's research and the discussion, thought it still had to do a series of questions analyzes, the textual research thoroughly. Because of all evidence of them have deficiencies. But it is sure that we can't deny that it is a close relation between Zisi and Doctrine of the mean regardless of from the thought or in the literature. The constitution of Doctrine of the mean which we can see at present should be quite complex, its special details also wait for the textual research. But Doctrine of the mean which exists as the Confucianist classics is precisely this prepares now which disputed.Doctrine of the mean which we can see today is originally the preservation LIJI, HANSHU·YIWENZHI record ZHONGYONGSHUO two -volume, this is earliest, has the record to look up - now this "Doctrine of the mean" to explain ancient or dialect words by giving the common equivalent the literature, although its book did not pass on, but we may know actually at least when Chinese now this "Doctrine of the mean" has already brought to people's attention. But the Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties time, some people from three sects to start to note Doctrine of the mean, and carries on the transformation and the use to it. Then Liao who extremely by representative the Confucianist lived in the Tang Dynasty not only pay attention to this Doctrine of the mean, but also carried on to it released the solution to the Buddhism principle has carried on the absorption and the use. This procedure enormous influence later generation, in particular Song Dynasty's Confucianist, and finally pushed in Song Confucian there Doctrine of the mean to the classics status. Through this Doctrine of the mean spreads the situation to now from two Chinese to Song section of times the research, we discovered, the discovery and spreads of this Doctrine of the mean is relate to Buddhism's introduction and dissemination, with the Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism unceasing conflict, the struggle fuses the development advancement to have unceasingly the close relation. Mutually affects in the process in Confucianism three which seeps mutually, three sects had found the thought conjunction spot, namely disposition theory.
