At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the slogan shouted by the Yellow Scarf Army uprising was: "Heaven dies, the yellow sky will stand, and the world will be fine at the age of 60."
It means that the Han dynasty is about to perish, and it will be our yellow turban insurrectionary army that will replace the Han dynasty.
Zhang Jiao founded "Taiping Road" and used it to organize hundreds of thousands of farmers to form 36 "phalanxes". Propaganda "Heaven dies, Huang Tianli; Years old in Jiazi, the world is good. " Zhang Jiao and his disciples secretly agreed that on March 5, the year of Jiazi (A.D. 184), all localities would revolt at the same time. The uprising was advanced in February of that year because of the traitor's informer.
The uprising quickly occupied many counties and counties in Hebei, the north and south of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River valley, and the people revolted in response. The rebels surrounded Luoyang and defeated the officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty many times. The insurgents wore yellow headscarves, so they were called the "Yellow Scarf Army".
The rebel army foiled the enemy's attack many times, but unfortunately Zhang Jiao died of illness. After several months of fighting, the main force of the Yellow Scarf Army failed, but the local insurgents still persisted in fighting for more than 30 years. Under the attack of the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the Eastern Han regime collapsed.
