How important is the balancing concept in Chinese culture?

I thought it is agreed in most of the Chinese minds:

Its a must to be balanced.

The meaning of balance cannot be said in a few words,  but every one knows it.

In the subconscious mind of China,   They are not seeking bigger or higher,  or richer.

They want only a balanced situation.

Yes, you can go higher and higher.   But you need to be balanced in a higher place.   It will be dangerous and useless if you are not balanced in a higher place.

And it doesn't mean that you must stay in a lower position.   You can try and you can fly.   But you must always be balanced.   You can fly higher and higher if you are balanced.   You will fall if you are not balanced.

It is subconsciously built long ago.

Everyone in the higher position,  no matter he is a merchant or a professor,  will keep that in mind.

This concept is seldom seen in other cultures. 

Ancient talented Chinese people must be very thoughtful.   They have provided a safe path for their children in only one word:  「中」.

The challenge comes 5000 years later:

Is there another one word can lead you go for another 5000 years?

I think most people can tell you one more word after  the word 「中」.
