第二章至第十一章主要通过强调中庸思想不容易被发现，而引发人们对中庸思想的重视，以及圣人是如何应用中庸之道的实践。“君子中庸，君子而时中”是强调达到中庸之道的君子，须臾不会离开中庸之道。“中庸其至矣乎”强调中庸是中国文化的最高境界。“民鲜能久矣，人莫不飲食，鲜能知味矣，道其不行矣夫”是说明中庸之道发现之难。

  如何实践中庸之道，通过列举三位圣贤的事迹，来说明智、仁、勇三者天下至难之事合乎中庸之道，“舜其大智也与，回之为人也得一善而拳拳服膺而弗失之矣，子路问强：君子和而不流，中立而不倚”。最后强调君子恪守中庸之道的初心不改。孔子强调“君子依乎中庸，遁世不见知而不悔”表达了中国文化坚贞无我，立于千万年而不朽的人文精神。

活动二：英语主题演讲：Man In The Mirror

  10月22日，鲁迅路外文文献分馆举办了第一期英语演讲活动，演讲主题是镜中人（Man In The Mirror）。

  这是迈克尔·杰克逊的一首歌曲。他呼吁人们从自我做起，去改变世界，不再有战争和伤害，人们可以相互帮助，共创美好未来。“如果你想要世界更美好，那么做出改变”。歌词“镜中人，你能否帮我改变世界？”表达了迈克尔·杰克逊对世界的关切与担忧，也表达了他改变世界的决心。Are you familiar with the theme? It is the name from a song of Pop star Michael Jackson.This time, we will begin with a topic Man In The Mirror and have a discussion about yourself and some other details.
