Why is the Taiping Rebellion the pinnacle of the Chinese peasant uprising? First, it's about scale. Of the eighteen provinces of The Han Dynasty, only Hong Xiuquan's hometown of Guangdong was not attacked by the Taiping Army, and other provinces had footnotes of the Taiping Army's turn to war.
Second, it lasts for a long time. From the 1851 uprising, the fall of Tianjing in 1864, but not completely failed. In 1868, Lai Wenguang's new twist army was completely destroyed, and only then did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement fail, 18 years before and after, which is rare in history.
Third, the impact is enormous. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not only shook the centralization of power in the Qing Dynasty and almost collapsed the Qing Dynasty, but also allowed the rise of Han bureaucrats, stimulated the foreign affairs movement, and objectively promoted modernization. The experience of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also borrowed from the later Chinese revolution.
Fourth, the concept has made great progress. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not only had a strict organization, but was also able to accept advanced ideas, propose the development of industry, and engage in modern economic construction. However, in the absence of a peaceful environment, it could not be pursued. Diplomatically, it advocates opening up to the outside world and rejects unequal treaties. Advocating equality between men and women and allowing women to become officials is the first in history.
