At a time of corruption in the courts, rebellious groups began to rise up quickly around China. One such rebellion was known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or the Yellow Scarves Rebellion, led by three brothers: Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang. One day while Zhang Jiao was traveling, he saw an old man, who summoned him into a cave. In the cave, the old man gave Zhang Jiao a book in three volumes, called "Essential Arts for the Millennium." When the old man was asked for his name, he replied with "The Old Hermit From Mount Hua Summit - Zhuang Zi, the Taoist sage." Over the next while, Zhang Jiao became known as the Great Teacher of the Way of Peace, and gained thousands of followers. The brothers realized their opportunity to seize control of the troubled empire, and began planning for the uprising. Yellow banners were made, a date was set, Zhang Jiao proclaimed himself the "General of Heaven", Zhang Bao the "General of the Earth", and Zhang Liang the "General of Men".
