Biography & Historical Record

Dahong (大洪, Đại Hòng) was a Yellow Turban rebel leader recorded in Three Kingdoms period catalogs. He appears at the opening of the rebellion era as one of the regional chiefs who rose with Zhang Jue’s movement against the Han dynasty. Little beyond his rebel leadership is preserved in standard histories.

Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3 (Dong Zhuo Denounces Ding Yuan in the Phoenix Pavilion) names Dahong among the Yellow Turban commanders and rebel leaders active as the empire fractures after the eunuch purge and Zhang Jue’s uprising. He belongs to the same rebel roster as the novel shifts from the Yellow Turban crisis toward Dong Zhuo’s rise — the chaotic opening act in which regional bandits and sect armies challenge Han authority across the provinces.
