The political ideology of Huang-Lao Taoism is the core content of Taoism culture, as well as a significant constituent part of Taoism ideology.Huang-Lao Taoism inherited the Taoism theory of Lao Zi, and on this basis, it took various schools of thoughts and formed a doctrine theory which has a feature of Taoism-Legalism Combination. The nation management thoughts of Huang-Lao Taoism have significant theoretical and practical meaning to our ancient nation management due to its variety, depth and practicability. This paper adopts, the method of literature research, comparison and analysis, takes the changing process of combination of Taoism and Legalism of Huang-Lao Taoism, from the trend of change,process of mutual combination and permeation, and the final formation, further understands the theoretical thoughts and current values of the nation management thoughts of Huang-Lao Taoism comprehensively.Huang-Lao Taoism takes "Tao" as theoretical basis and logical start,deems "Tao" is the basic origin of everything in the universe, combines "Tao" of Taoism and "Legal" of Legalism, and proposes the management thoughts with the feature of ’Combination of Taoism and Legalism’. Huang-Lao Taoism takes Legal into Tao on the basis of absorbing the concepts of "Tao", "Nature" and "Non-action" of Lao Zi, makes "Tao", "Nature" and "Non-action" of Huang-Lao Taoism legalized, takes "Tao" to refine, control and permeate "Legal". Meanwhile, it takes "Legal" as the presentation method of "Tao",which makes the concept of "Tao" differs from the "Tao" of Lao Zi. But makes it between the "Tao" of Lao Zi and the "Legal" of HAN Feizi.Similarly, it legalizes the concept of "Nature" and "Tao" is the origin. But "Nature" is the result and state. "Nature" exists by attaching to "Tao", and the fact of "Legal Nature" is the "Legal-Tao", whose action taker is the saint of great achievements. Finally, the concept of "Non-action", is no longer the "Governing non-action" that has the requirement of small nation and a few people in Lao Zi, at the same time, it is not the "Non-action" from Zhuang Zi’s pursuing self-dependence, but it is the final formation of "Governing non-action" due to nature and simple management. Through the process of "combination of Taoismand Legalism", the concepts of "Tao", "Nature" and "Non-action" all have the features of Taoism, as well as the features of Legalism. The final formed nation management thoughts are actually stressing the nation management and political practices, presenting two levels of "bear Legal from Tao" and "handle Legal by Tao " and presenting as " Governing non-action " in management wisdom.The nation management thoughts of Huang-Lao Taoism not only forms classic works, forms a complete management mode, at the same time, it could be named as a successful example to the beginning of Han Dynasty, to the later generations and the current generation. The nation management thoughts of Huang-Lao Taoism has very deep philosophy thoughts, and the current construction of nation management system,construction of legal nation and the implementation of cultural inherit project.Therefore, researching the nation management thoughts of Huang-Lao Taoism has pretty strong current value, especially to the research of the existing problems in China’s nation management.
