Two mass movements emerged almost simultaneously in the second century and both were, in the state's eyes, rebellions. Zhang Jue's Way of Great Peace in the east treated illness by having the sick kneel and confess their transgressions, dispensed talisman water, and in 184 launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion with hundreds of thousands of followers; suppressing it required the regional militarisation that broke the Han dynasty apart. Zhang Lu, grandson of Zhang Daoling, ran the Five Pecks of Rice community in Hanzhong as an effectively independent theocratic state for about thirty years, with parish officers instead of magistrates, a system of confession and penance for offences, three chances before punishment, and free hostels on the roads stocked with rice and meat where travellers took what they needed and were warned that spirits would sicken anyone who took more. He eventually surrendered to Cao Cao on terms. The tradition preserves both, and the second is one of the earliest documented experiments in a religiously organised welfare system.
