“中道”思想是《易經》的一個重要思想，其本意表示卦爻的履中得位，包括“中正”和“時中”兩個維度。凡符合“中道”的爻多吉而少凶，這反映了一種素樸的人生哲理。“中道”思想在《易傳》中被加以提炼和发展，並引申為一種重要的道德觀念。《易傳》通過賦予作為宇宙本體的天道以全新的道德意義，從而溝通了德行與吉凶之間的鴻溝，揭橥了君子進德修業的合理性，並進而確證德福之間的一致性。這一道德形而上學的詮釋路徑包涵了宇宙論和本體論兩個層面，對後世儒家產生了深遠影響。
Zhongdao中道 (middle path) refers the middle lines in the hexagrams in the Yijing易經, the second or fifth positions. Zhongdao includes the notions of zhongzheng中正 (special middle point) and shizhong時中 (temporal middle point). Most zhongdao lines in the hexagrams indicate good fortune with only a few zhongdao lines having been interpreted as presaging bad fortune. This kind of essentially positive approach to human life can be understood as a basis of moral philosophy in the Chinese tradition. The Yijing also has a tendency to relate cosmology and morality in order to make connections between virtual behavior and good fortune. That is, the Yijing holds that moral self-cultivation can be justified by good fortune and psychological rewards. In this regards, the moral metaphysics of the Yijing asserts the unity between virtue and fortune, a conjunction which has had a huge influence on Confucian scholars throughout Chinese history.
