At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three brothers founded the organization Taiping Dao, which was mainly influenced by Taiping Jing and the early popular idea of "Huang Lao", and transformed this idea into their own teachings and widely publicized it to believers. The doctrine of Taiping Dao advocates that there are ghosts and gods in the sky to monitor people's behavior, increase or decrease their life span according to the good and evil of people's behavior, and requires people to do more good deeds and less bad things.

After more than ten years' efforts, Taiping Road in Zhangjiao has developed to many parts of the country, and the number of believers has reached several hundred thousand. Zhang Jiao preached as a leader. According to historical records, he mainly relied on treating others to expand his influence. Zhang Jiao also called himself "the teacher of great virtue" and regarded himself as the forerunner of the public. He established an organization "Fang" that combines military and political affairs. According to the region of the country, there are 36 political parties, and the leaders of all parties call it "Qu Shuai", which has great influence among the people. ?

At that time, because of social corruption, political darkness and people's poverty, Zhang Jiao took advantage of the trend and put forward the slogan "Heaven will die, and the world will flourish at the age of 60" and launched the Yellow Scarf Uprising. After the failure of the uprising, Taiping Road basically disappeared.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, farmers lived in poverty because of the confusion of government and local laws and regulations. In view of this, Zhang Bao, Zhang Jiao, Sean and Zhang Jiao of Wei County used spells to treat diseases everywhere. Many sick people drank his water and recovered without medication. Zhang Jiao is regarded as an immortal. Zhang Jiao sent eight ambassadors to preach abroad. So more and more followers were chased, even hundreds of thousands, all over Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan and Yu, accounting for almost three-quarters of the country at that time. In order to go to the opening angle, many people do not hesitate to sell their property and come all the way to compete with each other, and their followers are also packed. It is said that more than 10 thousand people were trampled to death on the way.

Zhang Jiao has been engaged in folk activities for more than ten years, with 300,000 to 400,000 participants. Seeing that there were more and more believers, Zhang Jiao founded "Huangtian Taiping", also known as "Taiping Road", to manage believers and called himself "the teacher of great virtue". He divided his sphere of influence into 36 regions, called "Fang", with more than 10,000 senior officials and 6,000 small parties, and each party pushed a leader, all of which were controlled by the Han Dynasty.

The Yellow Scarf Uprising led by Zhang Jiao impacted the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which directly led to the warlord's separatist regime and melee in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then evolved into a three-legged situation. At the same time, it is also the first peasant uprising led by religion in the history of our country, which has far-reaching historical significance; It also laid a historical pattern for Taoism to spread and develop mainly in the lower classes of society in the future.
