In the late Qing Dynasty, the world situation was turbulent, due to the Qing government's policy of closing the country to the outside world, resulting in China lagging behind the West in an all-round way, in the past hundred years, Chinese bullied and oppressed, and it was at this time that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement swept the country, in fourteen years, almost occupied half of the country, and also captured Nanjing as the capital.
Only at this time, the rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were somewhat arrogant and complacent, greedily enjoying corruption and degeneration, and were eventually hanged by the Qing government and foreigners, in fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was considered to have positive significance in the development of Chinese history, at least in the late Qing Dynasty to bring the advanced ideological revolutionary foundation of the West, but the uprising led by Hong Xiuquan inevitably had the limitations of the peasant uprising unique to ancient China, and did not take a long-term view, especially in governing the country, and did not follow a set of inherent systems. So much so that it failed.
It is said that in order to avoid secrecy, all provinces and cities in the country have changed their names, the purpose is to avoid these supreme rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, for example, they changed Nanjing to Tianjing, in fact, this in itself is not to blame, but their renaming of other provinces is completely based on their own personal preferences.
For example, The Southern King Feng Yunshan, because his name has the word "mountain", so he ordered that All Shanxi in Shandong be changed to Shandong Shanxi, and the reason why Shandong Shanxi is so named is because they are separated by a Taihang Mountain, which has extremely important geographical naming characteristics, but such a change, the overall feeling is not classy, not only that, he also changed Yunnan to "Yunnan", added a cursive prefix, to show the difference, completely make people wonder what the intention is.
The Western King Xiao Chaogui did not want to show weakness, he glanced at Guizhou, not to say that there is a taboo, changed to Guizhou, not only that, they changed guangxi to the place of guangxi's fortune, Guangxi changed to Guifu Province, so that it looks auspicious, but in fact full of bad soil interest, in addition, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also changed the identity of the unoccupied, changed Xinjiang to new ginger, and enjoyed the same treatment as Jiangxi and Zhejiang
Of course, in fact, the whimsical behavior of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is far more than that, they even because Tianjin is close to Beijing, this place was brainwashed too much by the Qing government, and changed to a province of sin, indicating that this place is a sinner and should be subjected to his indoctrination and brainwashing, and it is precisely because of the bad tastes of these rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that the internal contradictions are getting bigger and bigger, and finally under the internal and external difficulties, the vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement has failed.
