Abstract “Respecting Dao and Valuing De” is one of the oldest fundamental values in China and the basic spirit of Chinese traditional values. The idea， firstly contained in Yijing and theoretically expressed by Laozi， gets consensus by major schools in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to ancients， “Dao” is the essential of universe and can communicate with human being， while “De” means to acquire Dao， it is in this sense that we have the concept of “Daode”(translated as Morality). In this way， “respecting Dao and valuing De” means respect and value morality. To promote the idea of “respecting Dao and valuing De” is helpful to solve the serious social problem in current moral life together with the whole social life， construct metaphysical moral system together with Chinese moral belief which upholds the morality originated from Dao and human heart.
