Talk:Yellow Turban Rebellion

message: This is an issue and has been for a long time already. The map used for this article is still lacking proper reference to a credible source or body or work and has been lacking for several years. I think it is about time it gets removed from the article.

message: Why call them Yellow Turbans? After all, they wore scarves, not turbans.
Also, in ROTK, he was called Zhang Jue and his brothers were Zhang Ba and Zhang Lian. Koei changed them to Jiao, Bao and Liang. I have no idea why. Koei appearntly likes screwing around with stuff in their games. But it's their right. They never said it was 100% historically acurate (and it most certainly isn't).
:To me as a non-expert, the definitions of turban and scarf seem to overlap: a "scarf is a piece of textile, often long and narrow, usually worn on or near the head" and a turban is a "headdress [...] consisting of a long scarf wound round the head". Although I do not know how the Yellow Turbans/Scarves wore their yellow "thingies", it may very well be that it could be described either as a scarf or as a turban. In naming the article, common use of the name should be given priority, IMHO. I have created a redirection from "Yellow Scarves Rebellion" to "Yellow Turban Rebellion" now, but I feel that the most common English name should also be the title of the article. rm 9 July 2005 14:34 (UTC)
By the way, in the Brewitt-Taylor version, they were named Chang Chio, Pao, and Liang, or in pinyin Zhang Jiao Bao and Liang. So it wasn't Koei. Cao Wei 21:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: but...

message: I don't understand why the article states "who is referred to as Zhang Jue in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This simply does not make any sense since the original was written in Chinese, the Chinese character 角 can be read as jue2 or jiao3 in Mandarin. That aside, is Jue2 or Jiao3 the preferred pronunciation among historians?
:Per this site at Stanford University the correct pronunciation is Zhang Jue (you'll have to turn on Big5 encoding to see the page correctly in your browser).  I don't know how authoritative that website is, but where English is found on pages Google indexes for "张角", I didn't see any references to Zhang Jiao, only to Zhang Jue.  technopilgrim 01:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
