Drawing on the *Zhong Yong*, the Confucian text on the Middle Way and moderation, and its central thesis regarding the four basic human emotions—euphoria, anger, sorrow, and desire—Hoyoung Im explores how these emotions can be balanced in a way that leads to a happy life.

The ritual explores the question of an ideal, harmonious future and the willingness to prepare for what lies ahead. What do people need to be happy together?
