Great Virtuous Teacher

Great Virtuous Teacher (大賢良師) was a title or rank in the Way of Great Peace (太平道).

Description
In the early 170's a religious movemement called the Way of Great Peace was founded by the brothers Zhang Jiao (張角), Zhang Bao (張寶) and Zhang Liang (張梁). Shorty after its foundation the brothers appointed themselves with titles. Zhang Jiao became 'Great Virtuous Teacher' and his brothers became 'Great Healers'.

It seems plausible that Great Virtuous Teacher was a title of higher value than Great Healer, because Zhang Jiao is regarded as the instigator and leader of the Way of Great Peace and the later to follow Yellow Turban Rebellion.
