Zhang Jue

Zhang Jue was a legendary Chinese healer and spiritual leader who founded the Yellow Turban Rebellion around 184 CE during the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is often remembered as a charismatic figure who promoted Taoist principles and sought to address social unrest through spiritual awakening. His followers believed in healing, moral reform, and the establishment of a more just society, which led to the large-scale uprising. Though perhaps more myth than fact, Zhang Jue’s influence symbolized the power of religious and revolutionary movements in Chinese history, highlighting the intersection of spirituality and social change.
