Peasant uprising is also a technical job. To succeed, a good slogan is very important first. Let's look at the slogans of five famous peasant uprisings in history.
First, Chen Sheng in Guangwu Uprising: Does a general have seeds?
This sentence can be said to be the most familiar to everyone. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, under the fatuous and brutal rule of Qin Ershi, the people lived in poverty, so the first large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the history of China.
At that time, the social environment was hereditary, and ordinary people could not do it. The slogan shouted by Bobby Chen and Guangwu expressed the poor people's desire for political equality for the first time, which was extremely inflammatory. Chen Sheng and Guangwu also proved this sentence with their later actions, which can be said to be a precedent of "political power comes out of the barrel of a gun".
Second, the yellow turban insurrectionary: Heaven dies, Huang Tianli, aged in Jiazi, the world is prosperous.
This slogan became a household name in China because of the spread of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt and caught up with the national drought. The crops were not harvested, but the taxes were not reduced at all. So under the call of Taoist opening angle, the poor got up one after another.
Because Zhang Jiao is the founder of Taiping Road, this sentence also has a strong religious color. (History:) Although it has no practical significance, this sentence had a great influence at that time because of ancient feudal superstitions and religious beliefs.
Third, Wagangzhai Uprising: Help grandpa, help mom, and take children to Wagangzhai to eat food.
At the end of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of Yang Di was arrogant and extravagant, abusing his power. In the past few decades, he recruited tens of millions of people, built the Grand Canal, built the East Capital, built the Great Wall, and so on. In addition, he frequently launched wars, which caused public resentment and eventually broke out in many places. Among them, Wagangjun is the strongest.
This slogan of Wagangzhai made farmers all over the country go to the enemy. Although simple and popular, it is very useful for the uprising.
4. Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun Uprising: I once suffered from inequality between the rich and the poor, and now I am equal to you.
This was an uprising in the early Northern Song Dynasty. We all know that the Song Dynasty was a very rich dynasty, so why did the uprising happen? As can be seen from the slogan shouted by the uprising, because of the inequality between the rich and the poor.
Wang Xiaobo's slogan put forward the idea of "equal wealth" for the first time in history, which is a higher level than the previous uprising to eat enough.
5. Li Zicheng Uprising: Welcome the king, and when the king comes, he will not receive food.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was decadent, and the oppression of the people by the royal family and landlords and gentry became more and more serious. Years of famine led to peasant uprisings all over the country, of which Li Zicheng was the most important one.
According to the situation of exorbitant taxes and levies at that time, the Li Zicheng Uprising Army put forward the idea of "equal farmland and free food". In order to facilitate the spread, the Li Zicheng Rebels transformed this idea into "Welcome the king, and when the king comes, he will not receive food", and spread this ballad everywhere. Finally, the widespread spread of ballads made Zhuang Wang Li Zicheng very popular among the people, which was a very successful slogan.
Some of these uprising slogans made use of the feudal superstition of the ancients, and some were based on the social environment at that time, but their essence was to let more people join the uprising army. Which sentence do you think is the best and most convincing?
