A distinctive feature of the Chinese language is the influence of Confucian ideology. The attitudes and postulates formulated by Confucius and his followers, philosophical ideas, in particular “zhong yong” (“Middle and unchanging path”) have been intertwined for centuries and firmly fixed in the linguistic consciousness of the Chinese. As a result, the principle of "zhong yong" turned into specific mental attitudes and patterns of speech behavior, becoming the main distinguishing feature of the Chinese language. The focus on the harmonization and balance of speech, the elimination of negative and conflict factors in the process of communication, etc., echo the main characteristics of communicative softening, thus they we can designate them as maxims, categories of mitigative behavior in the Chinese language, specifically in interpersonal discourse. In our opinion, expressive means can serve as a good conductor of the ideas of "zhong yong" in the Chinese language. Moreover, in the course of the study, we found that in Chinese language mitigative features of expressive means largely determined by the specifics of the “zhong yong” principle. In this work, we set ourselves the goal of studying how the ethical and philosophical concept of "zhong yong" influences the choice of speech means and determines the nationally determined features of communication in Chinese, and, no less important, to find out exactly how the mitigative properties of basic attitudes "jun yong" are manifested.
