    Reader note

    At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, numerous warlords stood side by side, carving out their own provinces and prefectures, establishing their own independent systems, collecting taxes, and issuing their own decrees. They were nominally governors and prefects, but in reality, each prefecture was its own emperor, and each county its own king. When pleased, they formed alliances and rebelled against their superiors; when angered, they used force to annex each other. For a time, countless officials fought and clashed, one after another taking the stage. At that time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei held a banquet in a small pavilion, discussing heroes over plum wine, with Cao Cao saying, "Only you and I are worthy of such praise." Eighteen hundred years have passed, yet those who agree with this assessment merely cite figures like Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Zhongda, and even Guan Yu. However, I believe that in their time, the only true hero was the great and virtuous Zhang Jiao! Cao Cao and Liu Bei, whether through inherited wealth or connections with high officials, though achieving great things, were merely opportunists, chasing fame and fortune, indulging in selfish desires—not heroes! I observe that Lord Zhang far surpassed his contemporaries. At that time, the Han dynasty was utterly corrupt, the emperor was incompetent, officials were cruel, bureaucrats were treacherous, and the wealthy were greedy. The common people, their lives as worthless as grass, suffered greatly. A folk song arose: "Hair like chives, cut it and it grows back; head like a chicken, cut it and it crows again. Officials need not be feared, but the common people should never be underestimated." Mencius said: "He who loses the empire loses his people; he who loses his people loses their hearts." Thus, the Han dynasty lost its hearts, and Lord Zhang thus followed the way of Heaven! I say that Lord Zhang possessed five virtues: his compassion in healing the sick and bestowing talismans and water; his forbearance in spreading his teachings for ten years; his wisdom in commanding a hundred responses and causing a sensation throughout the land; his courage in risking great danger to rise up in rebellion; and his benevolence in remaining true to his original aspirations even after achieving wealth and power, fighting for the common people. Alas! What a pity for Lord Zhang! Heaven did not grant him a long life! What a pity for the Yellow Turbans! Internal traitors betrayed him! A great achievement was lost at the last moment. What is even more hateful is that the sycophantic scholars of past dynasties have slandered and defamed heroes, turning the brilliant and the wise into thieves. The thought of this makes one want to groan. Using this as a starting point, I have written this article, merely to express the pent-up frustration of the Yellow Turbans.
