Abstract: In the ordinance of “Yao yue” in Analects, with some words of the ancient sages and of their master, Confucius disciples made great efforts to narrate the inheriting process of Tao that was traced back to the ancient sages although it was Confucius who was firstly aware of it. His emphasis on Tang Wus “sin and self” as the main end of his political policy is consistent with the instructions of his predecessors, such as “restraining oneself and restoring courtesy as benevolence” and “politicians are also righteous” Moreover, it is in line with the special warning of his predecessors on the growing power desire and greed in the Spring and Autumn Period when they were in dispute. From their enlightenment on the political affairs of “prudence of power and discretion” with “principle of justice” as the knot point, we can see their understanding of their ancestors praise of “Jean” virtue of “Jean” under the heavens of the Holy gods, as well as their recognition of the Datong society that “the Tao of the ancestors implored” is also the conduct of “the world is for the public”. As for its emphasis on “permission to insist on it”, it also shows what the former teachers said “The doctrine of the mean is virtue, as far as its concerned”,which is indeed their experience, and constitutes their highest pursuit.

Key words: the ordinance of “Yao yue”, Ren, sincerely holding the due Mean, to let oneself bear the penalty of peoples iniquities
