Huang-Lao-daoismen

Huang-Lao-daoismen ( = portmanteau for «Den gule keisers og Laozis daoisme», eller  = «... .. ...-skoleretningen»), var en skoleretning innen daoismen og legalismen på de stridende staters tid og det tidlige Handynastiets tid, og som påberopte seg de mytologiske skikkelser Huangdi (Den gule keiser) og Laozi. 

Huang-Lao-daoismen var en viktig skole som betød mye for utformingen av den modne daoisme. Den gikk inn for at man skulle frasi seg lengselen etter rikdom og udødelighetsstatus. Teorien om regjeringskunst ved ikke-handling (wu wei) ble omsatt i virkelighet av skoleretningens tilhengere.

I den gamle historiefremstillingen Shiji regnes filosofene Shen Dao, Tian Pian, Jiezi og Huan Yuan - alle medlemmer av Jixia-akademiet - tilregnet denne skoleretningen, og likeså trekker den tråder til Shen Buhais og Han Feis filosofi.

I 1973 ble oppdaget man i Han-grav nr. 3 i Mawangdui verkene Jingfa (经法) og Shiliujing (十六经), som begge gjengir viktige tekster fra denne skoleretningen.
