Gentle and Honest's view of temperament comes from the pursuit of perfect temperament in Yao Dian. The “Gentle and Honest” temperament is intrinsically unified with Xingguan's poems and is therefore regarded by Confucius The teaching concept of “Poetry.” Similarly, the aspirations for neutralizing human nature in “Yao Dian” also inspired the pursuit of “Gentle and Honest but not stupidity”, thus enlightening the emergence of the idea of “the golden mean” during the Spring and Autumn Period
