Introduction to Chao Yukui

Huang Chao (820 - 884), a native of Caozhou, was the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Huang Chao was born in a salt merchant's family. He was good at riding and archery. He had a rough understanding of calligraphy and writing. He had a talent for poetry when he was young. After he became an adult, he took the imperial examination many times but failed. A year before Wang Xianzhi's uprising, there was a great drought in the Kanto region. The officials forced the people to pay taxes and serve, leaving the people with no choice but to gather around Huangchao and engage in many armed conflicts with the officials of the Tang court. In the year 875, Huang Chao and his eight brothers and nephews responded to Wang Xianzhi's uprising. In the year 878, after Wang Xianzhi passed away, everyone elected Huang Chao as their leader. He called himself the "Great General of the Sky" and changed his name to Wang Ba. Huang Chao led the rebel army to attack Hun City but failed. Later, Huang Chao crossed the Yangtze River south, passing through Jiangxi, western Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang, and entered Fujian. In 879, he besieged Guangzhou. However, Huang Chao's attack on the Central Plains did not go smoothly. In the end, he died in the Wolf Tiger Valley on the 15th day of the 6th month of the 4th year of Zhonghe (884). Huang Chao's nephew, Huang Hao, continued to resist, but he was ambushed and killed by the local tyrant Deng Jinsi in Hunan. The peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty ended. The Da Qi regime established by Huang Chao lasted less than five years.

During the Tang Dynasty, the world was still in the middle ages. Human society had just broken away from the shackles of the feudal system and began to advance towards modern civilization. During this period, the world had undergone tremendous changes, and mankind's understanding of nature had gradually deepened, and the level of science and technology had been greatly improved. During the Tang Dynasty, although the level of science and technology had reached a certain level, due to the limitations of the era, there was no such huge change as described in " The Fall of the Giant." The Fall of Giants was an excellent novel that reflected the good and evil of human nature and moral judgment through fictional stories. It had high literary value. However, as a fictional art form, novels could not fully reflect the history and technological level of the real world. Therefore, there might be a certain gap between the technological level of the Tang Dynasty and that described in " The Fall of Giants."
