The Historical Life of Zhang Jiao:

Zhang Jiao, Zi Zibu, Han nationality, was one of the leaders of the Yellow Scarf Uprising in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. 155 (the fifth year of Emperor Justin) was born in Zhuo Jun County (now Zhuozhou City, Baoding City, Hebei Province), the son of a teacher. It is said that he has long been interested in strange things such as immortals and ghosts and has certain medical skills.

184 (the first year of Zhong Ping, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), the Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out, and Zhang Jiao and his two brothers, Zhang Bao and Sean, preached in Hebei, accumulating a certain reputation and followers. They took advantage of social discontent such as unemployment, landlord tyranny, natural disasters and man-made disasters to promote the "Taiping Road" and call on the people to resist the rulers.

Later, Zhang Jiao brothers and other heroes who took refuge in them attacked Luoyang, the capital, but were suppressed by the Han army. Zhang Bao and Sean were defeated successively, only Zhang Jiao escaped into the mountains, and was finally killed by Orion Zhao Cen.

It is said that Zhang Jiao was exhausted in the battle. When he was chased by pursuers, he broke into an ancestral temple to survive, but only an old man guarded him. He took Zhang Jiao to a shrine and told him that "God is immortal and God is in heaven" and let him find his own way out. Zhang Jiao continued to be superstitious, but was soon killed by Zhao Cen.
