The first massacre took place from 10 in 548 AD to March 549, when the latter Jin rebels occupied Jiankang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty. At the beginning of the besieged city, the population of Jiankang Taicheng was more than 100,000, but after several months of military disasters, only two or three thousand people remained. History books describe it as "corpses everywhere, rotten juice full of ditches."
The second massacre took place in March of 1853, and the Taiping Army captured Jiangning City. Because the Eight Banners in the city resisted most resolutely during the siege, the Taiping Army massacred the Banners in the city after the city was broken, and also issued a reward order, saying that every full person would be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the estimated number of victims exceeded 20,000.
The third massacre took place in Tianjing Incident1September 856 to 1654381October. Large-scale infighting took place among the Eastern King Yang Xiu Qing, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the Wing King Shi Dakai, the Northern King Wei Changhui and the Yan King Qin Rigang, resulting in the killing of more than 20,000 people.
The fourth massacre took place in July 1864, when the Xiang army captured Tianjin in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Ceng Guoquan, Zeng Guofan's ninth brother, burned and killed soldiers in the city. It is difficult to count the number of victims in this massacre. Except for some young women who became slaves, almost all the soldiers and civilians in Tianjing were killed. Some experts conservatively estimate that 200,000 to 300,000 people were killed, and there are also 500,000 and millions of claims.
The fifth massacre took place in191112. Some Han extremists, under the banner of revenge for the Han people, plundered and slaughtered the banners in Nanjing. Although the atrocities were quickly stopped, it is estimated that more than 1000 people were killed.
The sixth massacre was the well-known Nanjing massacre from February 1937 to February 1938.
