In the late Western Han Dynasty, the situation of land annexation became more and more serious. Nobles, bureaucrats and big landlords occupied tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but farmers did not. There is no place to stand. "Farmers who lost their land, some sold themselves into slavery, some were forced into exile and became refugees. Many people starved to death and were buried alive by Han Chinese on the road, and class contradictions became increasingly acute. In 8 AD, Wang Mang came to power in the Western Han Dynasty, and class contradictions deepened. People's lives are more painful, and a large-scale peasant uprising is bound to break out.

In 2022, Lu Cheng defeated Wang Mang's army in Wuyan County, and the Red Eyebrow Army grew stronger and stronger, reaching hundreds of thousands. At this time, the heroes of Greenwood also developed rapidly. In 23 AD, Kunyang won a great victory, annihilated Wang Mang's main force, and soon captured Chang 'an, overthrowing Wang Mangshuai's reactionary regime.

In AD 25, Liu Xiu's royal family won the uprising and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, big landlords violently seized farmers' land. The concubines and eunuchs were autocratic and ordered local officials to levy exorbitant taxes, which were ten times as much as prescribed. Farmers went bankrupt and became refugees.

In order to mobilize farmers to participate in the struggle extensively, Zhang Jiao also put forward the revolutionary slogan: Heaven dies, Huang Tianli, and the world is better at the age of 60. This slogan clearly pointed out the overthrow of the Eastern Han regime-"Heaven. Establish farmers' own political power-Huangtian. Political thought, and hinted at the great uprising of burning time-Jiazi (184).

After nine months of heroic fighting, the main force of the Yellow Scarf Army failed under the joint attack of the Eastern Han army and the landlord armed forces. The Eastern Han regime also collapsed in the storm of peasant uprising.
