The Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Fall of Han
Lucas and Luna tackle one of Han China's greatest internal crises: the Yellow Turban Rebellion of 184 CE. They explore the social and economic pressures that fueled the uprising—land concentration, corrupt eunuchs, and a devastating famine—and how the Daoist leader Zhang Jue mobilized hundreds of thousands with promises of a 'Way of Great Peace.' The conversation covers the rebellion's military campaigns, the Han court's desperate reliance on local warlords like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and the long-term consequences: the collapse of central authority, the rise of the Three Kingdoms period, and the enduring legacy of the revolt in Chinese culture. Along the way they touch on the Han dynasty's census records, the role of the Heavenly Masters movement, and how Yellow Turban ideology influenced later secret societies.
