1. Zhang Yan (Han Dynasty)Zhang Yan, né Chu Yan (褚燕), also known as Zhang Feiyan (張飛燕), was the leader of the Heishan bandits during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He was a native of Zhending, Changshan commandery. He was born Chu Yan. Because he was fast, and agile, and brave, his men called him "Feiyan", meaning "Flying Swallow". Not much was known about him historically until 185, when he and Zhang Niujue (張牛角), another bandit leader, raided the town of Yingtao (癭陶).
