太平道 / Taiping Dao

太平道 / Taiping Dao enters the wiki through Hanji 995 as 张角’s late-Han religious movement. The host invokes it as one comparator for how religious language and organization can mobilize large numbers in a collapsing political order.

The page is intentionally source-scoped. Hanji 995 does not narrate the Yellow Turban story in detail; it uses Taiping Dao to contextualize 笮融’s use of Buddhist ritual as social organization, while keeping Ze Rong’s repeated murders distinct from the broader comparator.
