Abstract
In Chinese Literature the locus classicus of what in the West has been called "the golden rule" is a passage from the Lunyu (Analects) in which Zigong, one of Confucius' favourite disciples, asks his Master about a principle that can guide man's behaviour. This study explores the meaning and interpretation of two key concepts, shu (empathy) and zhong "doing one's best" in the Lunyu and other related texts in order to understand the confucian golden rule.
