The Disaster of Baima(Chinese: 白馬之禍) was an ancient Chinese political incident and massacre occurred in the year of 905. Baima, the main theatre of the incident, was a post office located in today's Chenguan township of Hua County, Henan province. Zhu Wen, then a military strongman, executed a large number of courtiers and aristocrats of the Tang dynasty court in Baima in 905, causing a disastrous end of the privileges enjoyed by Chinese aristocrats for many centuries.Some historians deem the Baima disaster as the culmination of the tension between aristocrats, whose power was waning, and rising scholar-gentries who acquired their social status by passing the imperial exam.
