The principle of chung and shu was later regarded as the "principle of applying a measuring square". It means that one uses oneself as a standard to determine one's conduct. The Great Learning emphasizes the negative aspect of this principle, while the Doctrine of the Mean stresses the positive one. The measuring square of the two is in one's self, not in other things.

劣币驱逐良币(Bad money drives out good)是指当一个国家同时流通两种实际价值不同而法定比价不变的货币时，实际价值高的货币或银子（良币）必然要被熔化、收藏或输出而退出流通领域，而实际价值低的货币（劣币）反而充斥市场。

狭义来说，劣币驱逐良币是指因为信息不对称，物品的估值方（信息缺少的一方）估值一定时，物品的提供方（信息充分的一方）会选择提供实值较低的物品（劣币），致使实值较高的物品（良币）越来越少。广义来说，劣币驱逐良币也可以泛指一般的逆淘汰（即劣胜优汰）现象。
