The entire event was such a mess, back in the more proper days of Han administration, whenever there were big droughts, plagues, famines and floodings, the imperial house had the sense to grand wholesale tax amnesty, grain relief, and the right to hunt and fish from royal lands and forests for the public's substance, but by this time the Emperors (and mostly his corrupt handlers) were so out of touch that it could only be rectified by drastic actions.

Well it actually makes sense that the way of Supreme Peace would involve violence as Zhang Jue was a Taoist and one of the core things about that religion is that some times a paradox is an answers, like in order to feel happy you need sadness. Also it's very likely that his Taoist beliefs are the reason his rebellion was some what successful as instead of “rise up now" like what happened with later yellow turbans, he waited as another thing Taoism teaches is inaction can be more powerful than action.
The line “When the year is jiǎzǐ,” meant actually more literal in the Han era. It's more like "When the Jupiter(the year star) is moving onto the Jiazi position". The whole prophecy was to ask people looking up at the sky for an answer..
@@galecarp I think a name that short for a year this "late" (even if the christian and chinese calenders don't start at the same date) might be used for multiples years...
Unless a proper leader and government body was established not much I mean look at France right after the revolution it took them years to stabilise the country and when that happened gets who was in charge Napoleon Bonapart
@@james-97209 I mean the same thing happened with this Rebellion too. It badly destabilized central power and showed how chaotically incompetent the government was. It led to Dong Zhuo eventually getting the opportunity to become the Tyrant of the Han. The Turbans might have failed but they helped kill the Han in death.
@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan That's not really the case actually. Land reforms were promised as well as a complete overhaul of the Dynastic apparatus at the time. The reason they failed was that the Rebellion was discovered before it was ready and so had to launch too soon before it could gain enough momentum. That and the death of its founder to illness were the main factors in the defeat of the YT. The fact that it took around 26 years to fully end the YT movement is testament that a lot of people did follow the teachings. It also was a religious movement. The YT didn't want to just create anarchy, they planned to replace the Han with themselves as a new form of Dynasty.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Basically, if the Yellow Turbans won, it'd be just like Liu Bang during the fall of the Qin Empire. Another dynasty would rise, with Zhang Jiao as Emperor.
Only now ran into your older videos, happy to say theyre on par with the already amazing recent videos. Just goes to show how high quality your work is
“I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.” Cao Cao. Who only to pas on Cao Wei to his son Cao Pi who’s son lost the empire to Sima family. All that fighting ended up under Sima family to establish Jin Dynasty. Your video was pretty accurate. Would love to see you do Three Kingdoms.
Very much appreciated as always Cody! Good presentation, very accessible, and a godsend to us folks who aren't familiar with Chinese history. I hope you will do one of these for each dlc that comes out bc knowing the context behind these events makes me appreciate what I see play out in game!
Loved this video and can't wait to see more like it: Ideas for future videos: The Hundred Years War, The First Crusade, American Revolution, The Pirate Republic during the golden age of piracy, The Reconquista, The War of 1812, and the Sengoku Jidai
A great companion piece to this video would be about the Liang Rebellion! You should do a video on that bc it's just as important and helps fill in the big Dong's backstory as well as Ma Teng and Han Sui. It happened at the same time as the Yellow Turbans but for completely different reasons and is equally important set up for the strife that engulfed China!
Peace through BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. Oh wait, wrong game. Seriously though, one of the yellow turban leaders get more of their unique resource from casualties in battle so I guess it's a noble endeavour to die as a martyr in the rebellion or something :D
If there's anything I learned from this period of history: it's that China was really chaotic until very recently, the peasants rebelled a lot and there were lots of famines.
Farmer 1: I found an iphone Farmer 2/ lets sell it to arkansas and pay our taxes. Zhang jue (eyes rolling): really? Kinda feels like Spartacus rebellion against rome but bigger. Dong zhuo doesn't look fat and cuddly. Someone pass him my all-u-can-eat coupon .
I feel like Napoleon's rise would be a great subject, because of the almost positive treatement he gave to the civilians under his empire (And the fact that he won battles by buying shooses for his entire army)
I wasn't satisfied with that either. Originally I filmed the live portion outdoors, but there was an audio failure and it was unusable. It's frankly a PITA and I'll cut me out in the future.
10:40 by this point i think the eunuchs and the emperor were in cahoots with each other. when you say luzhi is accused of treason it probably meant that luzhi was a little proud, arrogant, and refused to pay homage to the eunuchs who were in fact agents working for the imperial household. which is why even though the han dynasty is the name given to china of this period and that the imperial household and throne belongs to the liu family but there are many other factions, commanderies, characters, and peoples within. and the imperials could have been seen as but one faction among many. and as such it will act with its own selfish means. the reason why the yellow turban grew to be so large and successful, and by successful i mean on the rise is because it captured, understood, was part of, and represented the interests of the greater majority at the time. which its leader like zhangjiao preached and represented. how and why it became locked in a fight against everyone. namely at first when the yellow turbans turned the great poor masses against their master the emperor. the emperor had to call on the feudal lords who were more or less once on par with the imperial faction but were humbled as the empire was established. now they are called upon to defeat a faction of the people. the turbans became less successful and lost its importance at the battle of the red cliffs because since the core of cao cao's army was of the qingzhou army mainly from shandong which is a a northern region. they ceased to be militarily as well as ethically potent when they stepped to invade the southern lands without good justification. because once they were fighting for their livelihood and what they believed to be right but now at red cliff they were mere invaders in a foreign land.
Dynasty Warriors 3 Xtreme Legends Zhang Jiao Musou Mode does that. In that Story the ones posing as Yellow Turbans Comminting crimes were Criminals while the actual Yellow Turbans were Good Guys
Only the truly great leaders find out their advisors are commiting treason then say "Don't do it again" that is a stern and intimidating leader right there. Those Unichs definetly learned their lessons and would never do that again. How could anyone think he was a terrible leader and needed to be removed? All these warlords just don't know what the power of telling someone to stop can do. I mean why would school lie to me and say that telling people to stop bullying will make them stop? (Seriously though..... he should have done what the Japanese woman in KIll Bill did, lop a mans head off and make a statement)
1:37 you have good points here about sending unnecessarily large armies and maintaining costly fortifications in the western regions while the poor are taxed to revolt back in china proper. dong zhuo was probably one of these frontier military men who turned back with his men to wreak havoc. but remember if the armies aren't sent abroad to expand china's interests then wouldn't they be fighting each other at home? remember before the establishment of the han dynasty china was mostly fighting itself with the chu-han contention and before that the grand unification of the feudal kingdoms under the qin. it would be like say if the european nations hadn't been fighting amongst each other they'd be organizing crusades or colonialism etc.. but i do think that something went wrong with the system or perhaps the system wasn't perfect and wasn't meant to last in the first place. there was a little ice age, other natural disasters, among human errors or perhaps these two happened at the same time. nevertheless history is history.
There was actually a point to this. It kept ambitious generals occupied against an issue that would never be solved (China dealt with nomadic tribes on the borders for thousands of years) The Romans did a similar thing by sending generals and troops to Britain to engage in a never ending guerrilla war just to keep them occupied and not sitting around thinking about rebellion
"The Azure Sky is already dead; the Yellow Sky will soon rise." I like to believe that the slogan was created and spread by Cao Cao to help push the rebellion over the tipping point so he could capitalize on putting down the rebellion to make more of a name for himself.
Cao Cao was ruthless, but not stupid. He would never instigate a mass slaughter of peasantry to make himself look better simply because it would undermine the stable governance of China- which it did. More likely, he'd pitch in a against the eunuchs- same great PR, waaaay less collateral.

Some of the real life camera bits fit in well, but others just seem like a waste of the first 3 words of a sentence. Likewise, full-body is never used in TV for a reason. Do waist-up or closer. Your video and voice quality are well above the level at which you'd expect that kind of camera work to appear. Use it for comedic effect or embed it into the video in a more consistent and non-disruptive way, I'd say.
this reminds me uwe boll's rampage where he encourages the populace to rise up against the government. i always wondered what would happen if a "yellow turban rebellion" happened in america? the poor and the middle class against the wealthy elite? sound very familiar?
