The real Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement in history should be a historical progress. The Taiping Rebellion was the largest and most influential peasant uprising in the history of our country, which effectively attacked the Manchu government and foreign invaders and won their own interests for the poor workers at that time. In addition, due to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the attitude of the Manchu government towards the Han people changed 180 degrees. Through the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Han people were gradually reused in the Manchu court. The leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement exchanged needed goods with the West and learned from each other, which also gave birth to the Westernization Movement in the Manchu court. Personally, it is more important that Guangdong and Guangxi, as one of the most important places in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, sowed the seeds of revolution and laid a solid foundation for Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary line later.

To say that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a catastrophe completely ignored that farmers only rebelled when they didn't have enough to eat. Officials forced the people to revolt, and feudal rulers oppressed them for a long time, so the working people really couldn't survive. Natural and man-made disasters, coupled with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees, make the poor even ineligible to live. At this time, whenever you rebel, you must rebel at one level. This is God's will.

Although there are many ignorant and even cruel places in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising team, this is determined by the class attribute of this peasant uprising army. After all, they have little culture and nothing new, but as an uprising team led by the Han people, the Manchu government completely ignored the Han people, which greatly boosted the national pride of the Han people. Why do Han people have full hair? Why are Manchu people superior to Han people? It was the Taiping Rebellion that finally brought out these oppressive evils in the hearts of the Han people. In the later Qing Dynasty, they dared not despise the talents and governance methods of the Han people.

If it weren't for the cruel repression of Zeng Guofan, who was also a Han Chinese, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement might have gone further. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the largest peasant uprising in history because it took a long time, but it recovered many cities, and the poor peasants living in these areas really benefited from the uprising. Only from this point of view, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is by no means a catastrophe.
