Huang–Lao itu apa sih?

Huang–Lao atau Huanglao () adalah aliran pemikiran Tiongkok yang paling berpengaruh pada Dinasti Han awal abad ke-2 SM, bermula dari dorongan politik-filosofis yang lebih luas utuk mencari solusi memperkuat tatanan feodal seperti yang digambarkan dalam propaganda Zhou. Tidak dijelaskan secara sistematis oleh sejarawan Sima Qian, Huang-Lao umumnya ditafsirkan sebagai sebuah aliran sinkretisme, berkembang menjadi sebuah agama besar - pangkal dari Taoisme keagamaan.

Menekankan pencarian keabadian, Feng Youlan dan Herrlee G. Creel menganggap Taoisme keagamaan tersebut berbeda dari, jika tidak bertentangan, dengan versi Taoisme Zhuangzi yang lebih filosofis. Mungkin sama-sama berasal dari sekitar tahun 300 SM, Huang-Lao yang lebih dominan secara politik menyatakan keduanya untuk sebagian besar Han. Sangat disukai oleh para penguasa yang percaya takhayul, Huang-Lao mendominasi kehidupan intelektual Qin dan Han awal bersama dengan "Legalisme Tiongkok", dan istilah Taoisme (dao-jia) mungkin diciptakan dengan mempertimbangkan isi Huang-Lao dan Zhuangzi.
