  Yellow Turban Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, sometimes also translated as the Yellow Scarves Rebellion, (Traditional Chinese: 黃巾之亂, Simplified Chinese: 黄巾之乱; pinyin: Huáng Jīn Zhī Luàn) was a 184 AD peasant rebellion against Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty of China.
A major cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was an agrarian crisis, in which famine forced many farmers and former military settlers in the north to seek employment in the south, where large landowners took advantage of the labor surplus and amassed large fortunes.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was led by Zhang Jiao (who is referred to as Zhang Jue in the Moss Roberts' English translation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms) and his two younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were born in the Ju Lu district of the Ye Prefecture.

 Zhang Jiao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhang Jiao or Zhang Jue (140-188) (Simplified Chinese: 张角; Traditional Chinese: 張角; Pinyin: Zhāng Jiǎo or Zhāng Jué) was the leader of the Yellow Turbans during the period of the late Eastern Han Dynasty in China.
The Yellow Turbans claimed to be Taoists, and rebelled against the Han because of the high taxes placed against them.
The Yellow Turbans, however, were still a strong threat until the death of Zhang Jiao, when, due to a lack of a good leader, it imploded on itself.
