黄巢 / Huang Chao

Huang Chao / 黄巢 is the late Tang rebel leader whose rebellion EP252 《太平年》之外的五代十国，什么样？ treats as part of the longer prehistory of [[FiveDynastiesTenKingdoms|五代十国]]. The source argues that the period should not be mechanically bounded at 907 because the fragmentation logic was already visible after Huang Chao.

The episode also invokes late-Tang cannibalism records around Huang Chao’s era to distinguish historical trauma from later dramatic relocation in [[Taipingnian|《太平年》]].
