Today,peace and development are becoming the topical subjects of this era in the world, the developing countries intend to rely on their own economic potentiality to pursue the modernization footsteps of developed countries. Communications and the degree of dependence between the nationals are getting stronger day by day, the development trend of multiplication on social culture becoming more evident, in the social reforming process have brought simultaneously the conflict and contradictory more intense between traditional element and modernity factor, this has a huge impact not only to values of different social members, the benefit orientation, the living idea and the thought morals and so on, also it has brought the disorder and trouble to social, society's conflict and the contradiction have opposed to each other under the deep level system restraint. Obviously,the performance of this kind of contradiction is crisis happened frequently. The eruption crisis event is a test on the government ability and the government credibility, the crisis management quality has influenced on government's emergency managed capacity immediately and the valid position of the government authority.The reason that government's legitimacy question becomes a highlight topic of the various countries government,the key factor is the universality and the serious hazardous of the political legitimacy crisis. The valid question of the political system in the final is the regulation arrangements of political system,the organizational structure and policy system drafted by the authority, whether and how to obtain approval and the support of its social members of different classes. Due to the difference of the political system stage, the purpose of development, the social environment similarities ,which lead to the crisis of political authority,but any political system will inevitably face the threat brought by the varying degree's legitimacy crisis. The reforming process between the traditional factors dispels and the modern factor gradually produces the contradiction to cause the public cultural multiplication, social structure complication, main body conflicts unceasingly enable the political system internal legitimacy crisis's appearance to have the inevitability .The legitimacy resolution of political authority prominent express the widespread social crisis event or the group unexpected event eruption, it is a dissatisfaction accumulation which is the social public lacks the approval to the authority of political system,government's policy, and their own benefit aspect,such as current demolition and expropriation regulations appeared frequently in our country lead to suspicion of social public for the government ability question,to a certain extent it has indicated transforming process from the traditional society to the modern society, political system's development lags behind the economic, society, the development of cultural levels, the change of social structure, the multiplication of public benefit and the public ideology's attenuated force the political system must increase their transforming function, improve to speed up the institutional arrangements of the legal framework, enhance the normal state and random management of government ability in crisis.The article takes the legitimacy theory as the analysis foundation, mainly launches three important sources of the legitimacy foundation to be discussed. In the legitimacy ideology, the establishment of the contemporary government's legitimacy in the social contract as the foundation of the people's sovereignty theory, government's crisis management must realize the uniformity between the government and the members of different social classes from the conflict, forming both benign interaction relations, gains the dominant valid foundation from the ideology and the value approval, effective dealing with the crisis consistently. In the foundation of legitimacy government, the gain and exercises of public authority follow the principle of legality, but the production and the existence of legal are also established in the government get with the social public values basic consistent foundation, it's social public to government's legitimacy approval foundation. Therefore the crisis management must through the legal restraint government"illegal"the authority and the behavior, prevents the government authority is abusiveness in random, realizes the government authority's validity. But for the valid legitimacy foundation question, the government had reflected directly to crisis's effective addressing by government's emergency managed capacity and the government level, guide the public from the practice to the act of government approval and the support, in turn the social public to a certain extent is also advantageous to government's valid support to the government to crisis's processing properly. But it cannot grasp the establishment merely above the legitimacy foundation, moreover,the government to the valid pursue cannot take the government authority infinite extension and the social value corrosion as a price. It must use the law to limit government's authority, standard the act of government, establish the idea of the limited government, the governed by law, the efficient government and responsible government,in order to realize the government reforming fundamentally. This article puts the political system legitimacy question to the public crisis management level, intends to make the public crisis management rise to the legitimacy of political authority while get support from both theoretical exploration, combine with the union crisis management cases, elaborates the government, society, public's reciprocity in the crisis management, analysis the relationship of the contradiction and the conflict thoroughly in the social transition period, in light of the benign interaction of government, social and public,explore the legitimacy way of government in the crisis management to achieve the goal of government administration.
