Noun

中行

  1. (literary) middle way; proper action; appropriate conduct

Etymology 2

Originally, a 氏 (shì, “hereditary clan; house”) created in the state of Jin (晉), taking the name from the "Central Column" — 中 (zhōng)行 (háng) — of the Jin armies.

晉侯作三行以禦狄,荀林父將中行,屠擊將右行,先蔑將左行。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
晋侯作三行以御狄,荀林父将中行,屠击将右行,先蔑将左行。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
From: Commentary of Zuo, c. 4th century BCE
Jìnhóu zuò sān háng yǐ yù Dí, Xún Línfǔ jiàng zhōng háng, Tú Jī jiàng yòu háng, Xiān Miè jiàng zuǒ háng. [Pinyin]
The Marquis of Jin established the Three Columns in order to defend against the Di. Xun Linfu, Tu Ji, and Xian Mie commanded the Central, Right, and Left columns respectively.

According to Kong Yingda's annotations to the Zuozhuan, the Middle Chinese fanqie of 行 in this context was 戶郎反 (reconstructed: /*ɦɑŋ/, /*ɣɑŋ/ > Mandarin háng).
