history
The 184 CE rebellion led by Zhang Jue (张角) and his Way of Great Peace (太平道) Daoist movement. Rebels tied yellow cloths around their heads, symbolizing the "Yellow Heaven" that would replace the "Blue Heaven" of Han. The revolt fatally weakened the Han dynasty and set the stage for the Three Kingdoms era.
The classical novel opens with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swearing brotherhood to fight the Yellow Turbans - most learners encounter 黄巾 here first.
