2.13

後漢皇甫嵩傳云。鉅鹿張角自稱大賢郎師。奉事黃老行張陵之術。用符水呪說以治病。遣弟子八人。使於四方。以行教化。轉相誑惑十餘年間。眾數十萬。自青徐幽冀荊楊兗豫八州之民。莫不必應。遂置三十六方。方猶將軍號也。大方萬餘人。小方六千人。訛言。蒼天死。黃天當立。歲在甲子天下大吉。以白土書京邑寺門。皆作甲子字。中平元年三月五日。內外俱起皆著道士黃巾黃褐。或殺人祠天。于時賊徒數十萬眾。初起頴川作亂天下。並為皇甫嵩討滅。南鄭反漢而蜀亡（事在魏書）。孫恩習仙而敗晉（事在晉書）。道育醮祭因而禍宋（事在宋書）。于吉行禁殆以危吳（事在吳書）。公旗學仙而誅家（事在華陽國志）。陳瑞習道而滅族（事在晉陽秋）。魏華叛夫（事在靈寶經序）。張陵棄婦（事在陵傳）。子登背父衛叔去兄（出神仙傳）。右上古來道士為逆亂者。

The biography of Huangfu Song in the *Book of Later Han* states: Zhang Jue of Julu proclaimed himself the Great Worthy and Good Master. He served the Yellow Emperor and Laozi, and practiced the arts of Zhang Ling, using talisman water and incantations to treat illnesses. He dispatched eight disciples as envoys to the four directions to carry out teachings and conversions, mutually deceiving and deluding people for over ten years, accumulating hundreds of thousands of followers. Among the people of the eight provinces of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu, there was none who did not answer his call. He then established thirty-six divisions (*fang*), a *fang* being like the title of general. A large *fang* had over ten thousand people, and a small *fang* had six thousand. They spread the rumor: 'The blue heaven is dead; the yellow heaven shall be established. The year being *jiazi*, there will be great fortune under heaven.' With white earth they wrote upon the gates of the capital's offices and monasteries, everywhere making the characters *jiazi*. On the fifth day of the third month of the first year of the Zhongping era, those inside and outside rose up simultaneously, all wearing Daoist yellow turbans and yellow coarse cloth; some killed people to sacrifice to heaven. At that time the bandit horde numbered hundreds of thousands. They first rose in Yingchuan and threw the empire into turmoil, all being subjugated and extinguished by Huangfu Song. Nanzheng rebelled against Han and Shu was destroyed (the matter is in the *Book of Wei*). Sun En practiced immortality and ruined the Jin (the matter is in the *Book of Jin*). Daoyu's *jiao* offering brought calamity upon the Song (the matter is in the *Book of Song*). Yu Ji practiced prohibitions and nearly endangered Wu (the matter is in the *Book of Wu*). Gongqi studied immortality and his family was executed (the matter is in the *Huayang guozhi*). Chen Rui practiced the Way and his clan was exterminated (the matter is in the *Jinyang qiu*). Wei Hua betrayed her husband (the matter is in the preface to the *Lingbao jing*). Zhang Ling abandoned his wife (the matter is in Ling's biography). Zideng turned his back on his father, and Weishu deserted his elder brother (found in the *Shenxian zhuan*). The above are Daoists who committed treason and rebellion since high antiquity.
