According to the test, the prototype of the Yellow Corner Daxian is most likely the founder of Taiping Road, Zhang Jiao (? -184), Julu (now Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), was the leader of the "Yellow Scarf Army" of the peasant uprising army in China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jiao believed in Huang Lao's theory in his early years, and he also had a deep study of divination, which was very popular in Han Dynasty. He is also familiar with folk medicine and witchcraft. During the Jianning period of Emperor Han Ling, epidemics prevailed. So Zhang Jiao took his two younger brothers, Sean and Zhang Bao, to Jizhou, where the disaster was particularly serious, and began missionary activities in the name of treating diseases. During the Xi period of Emperor Ping of Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Road on the basis of recruiting a large number of students, cultivating disciples and absorbing disciples. Soon after, the followers of Taiping Road grew to hundreds of thousands, and Zhang Jiao organized them into 36 phalanxes, with more than 10,000 generous people and six or seven thousand small phalanxes. Zhang Jiao called on the peasants to rise up and overthrow the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and shouted the slogan "Heaven dies, Huang Tianli, and the world is fine at the age of 60". He set the date of the uprising as the early year of Zhong Ping, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty (Jiazi Year 184), and actively planned the uprising. After the traitor rebelled, Zhang Jiao launched an uprising in advance. After the uprising broke out, Zhang Jiao, as the leader of Taiping Road, led the main force of the Yellow Scarf Army to fight in Jizhou until he died in Jizhou in the first year of Zhong Ping (A.D. 184) before deploying other legions.
