The Rebellion
Giving himself the title of "Great Teacher", he led the Yellow Turban Rebellion with his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in a campaign called "The Way of Heaven" or "The Way of Peace". He and his brothers had their own power. Zhang Bao was the general of land, and his brother general of people. And Zhang Jiao was the general of heaven. The Yellow Turbans claimed to be Taoists, and rebelled against the Han because of the high taxes placed against them. They conquered much in the early years of the rebellion, but when the Han sent out a distress call, gaining the talent of people such as Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Cao Cao, the lack of ability of his generals showed. The Yellow Turbans; however, were still a strong threat until the death of Zhang Jiao; when, due to a lack of a good leader, it imploded on itself.

At that time, there lived three brothers in Julu County: Zhang Jue, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. Zhang Jue was a failure in the county level examination. He had gone into the mountains to gather some medicinal herbs, when he came across an old man; the old man had a youthful countenance, and was carrying a pigweed walking stick. The old man beckoned Jue into a cave, presented him with a book in three volumes which had come from the heavens, then said, "This book is called The Essential Art of Great Peace. Once you have mastered its contents, you will represent the heavens in spreading this knowledge, and thereby save all of mankind. If you start to have second thoughts, there will be terrible consequences for you." Jue enquired as to the old man's name. The old man said, "I am the old immortal spirit from the southern lands." With that, the old man vanished into thin air. Upon receiving this book, Jue practiced night and day. Eventually, he could summon the wind and rain, and came to be known as the Great Peace Daoist.

Modern references Zhang Jiao is also a playable character in the Koei video game series, Dynasty Warriors. He is portrayed as a magician with a rather ridiculous manner of speech. He is known to frequently mention the word "Heaven" during speeches, and wields a sword in his debut appearance, Dynasty Warriors 2. However, in all successive installments, his weapon is the magical "Volcano Staff," capable of spitting fire at opponents on the battlefield, although he can also use it to create much more grandiose spells and effects when presented with enough time, extra effort and the assistance of his brothers. Although Zhang Jiao is portrayed as an antagonist in the series, this is merely due to difference in perception regarding how China should be united in peace. Similar to opposing political beliefs between party factions, The Yellow Turban and Han forces can be viewed in similar regard to the opposing beliefs of Socialism and Capitalism as functional social foundations. Zhang Jiao seeks to remove the Han leadership he views as corrupt and abusive of their positions, who heavily tax and abuse the peasants they have been charged with serving, which was indeed true. The regional warlords also seek to unite the land, although they also wish to gain power in the process, putting them at odds with Zhang's attempts to remove the governing Han leadership which supports and empowers the regional warlords. These warlords also believe that Zhang's revolution will cause massive amounts of damage and death in the process, which was also true. Therefore, it is the player's responsibility to decide which faction is right/wrong and who is justified in the actions they have taken.
