Chinese tend to love moderation because of their temperament. If you said, for example, the room is so dim that there is an window to be installed here, no one would agree. But if you intended to dismantle the roof, they would come to mediate and therefore would agree to install a window.
中國人的性情是總喜歡調和折中的，譬如你說，這屋子太暗，須在這裏開一個窗，大家一定不允許的。但如果你主張拆掉屋頂他們就來調和，願意開窗了。
