Dazhuan

Dazuan, also known as the Great Tradition or Orthodoxy, refers to the core, authoritative teachings within a cultural or philosophical system, especially in Chinese thought. It represents the fundamental principles and values that underpin moral conduct, social order, and spiritual development. Dazuan is often contrasted with local or folk practices, emphasizing a unified, essential worldview upheld by scholars, religious authorities, or philosophical schools. It provides a framework for understanding the world and guiding behavior, fostering societal harmony through adherence to shared principles and ethical standards.
