Anonymous users2024-02-07The root cause of the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement:
1. The peasant class is not the representative of the new productive forces and relations of production. They are unable to overcome the class limitations inherent in the small producers, and thus are unable to come up with a complete and correct political programme and a programme of social reform from the ground up. The inability to stop and overcome the growth of corruption in the leading group itself, and the inability to maintain the unity of the leading group for a long time weakened the centripetal force and combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
2. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used religion to organize and mobilize the masses, but the worship of God was not a scientific ideological theory, and it not only failed to correctly guide the war, but also brought harm to the peasant war.
3. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also failed to treat Confucianism correctly.
4. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not distinguish the invaders of Western countries from the masses of the people, and lacked a rational understanding of the Western invaders.
Objective reasons: Chinese and foreign reactionary forces colluded to jointly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Historical significance of the Taiping Movement:
Clause. 1. The Taiping Revolution reached the peak of China's old-style peasant wars.
Clause. Second, it dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty and accelerated the decline and collapse of the Qing Dynasty's rule.
Clause. Third, it has dealt a blow to foreign invaders and hindered the process of China's semi-civilian localization.
Clause. Fourth, the spirit of resistance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has inspired the will of the Chinese people for revolutionary struggle.
Clause. 5. The Taiping Revolution was also part of the revolutionary struggle of the people of the world at that time, which promoted the national liberation movement in Asia and shook the European continent.

Anonymous users2024-02-061. Reasons for failure:
1. From the subjective point of view, the first is the limitations of the peasant class. They were unable to fundamentally put forward a complete and correct political program and social reform program, failed to stop and support the growth of corruption in the leading clique itself, and failed to unite the naïve leading clique for a long time, thus greatly weakening the centripetal force and combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The second is a strategic mistake. The Taiping army went on a partial expedition to the north, and the lone army went deep and dispersed its forces. Third, in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the ideology and theory of worshipping God faculty and staff brought harm to the Taiping Rebellion.
2. From an objective point of view, Chinese and foreign reactionary forces colluded to jointly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
2. Lesson: The extremely failed Taiping Rebellion showed that in semi-colonial and semi-feudal China, due to the limitations of the hand class and the times, the peasant class could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle to victory. A simple peasant war could not accomplish the historical task of fighting for national independence and the people's liberation.

Anonymous users2024-02-05Reasons for the failure: 1. The fundamental reason for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the lack of advanced class leadership, the peasant class was not the representative of the productive forces and production relations, it had the inherent class limitations of small producers, and could neither put forward a complete and correct political program and social reform program, nor could it maintain the unity of the leading group for a long time, and could not stop the breeding of corruption within the ruling group.
2. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was not guided by scientific theories, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used the Friendship Worship Religion to initiate and organize the peasant uprising, while the Worship of God doctrine was not a scientific ideological theory, and it could neither maintain long-term internal unity nor correctly guide the war, thus bringing harm to the peasant war. Friendly arguments.
3. The leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generally regarded Westerners who believed in God as "foreign brothers" and were not vigilant enough and lacked rational understanding of the ambitions of the capitalist imperialist powers to invade China.
The Historical Significance of the Peasant War in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom:
1. It dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
2. It has dealt a powerful blow to foreign invading forces.
3. Exploration of the way out of modern countries.
4. The Taiping Rebellion also attacked the orthodox authority of Confucius and the Confucian classics.
5. The Taiping Rebellion struck a blow at the Western colonial forces and promoted the Asian national liberation movement.
First of all, let's review the Tianjing Incident, this incident occurred in the late 1856, was a rebellion caused by the disagreement and struggle among the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when the Northern King Wei Changhui and Yan King Qin Rigang and others killed the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, and also brutally killed his family and generals together, killing about 20,000 people in total, and then Wei Changhui was disposed of by Hong Xiuquan. >>>More
Foreign forces in China opposed the Taiping Rebellion. Because the Qing Dynasty was already the meat in the mouths of those countries, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wanted to rob them of their interests. >>>More
In August 1856, Yang Xiuqing scolded Hong Xiuquan under the pretext of "Heavenly Father" and forced Hong Xiuquan to crown him as "Long live". Hong Xiuquan felt that the development of the situation was not good for him, and ostensibly agreed to Yang Xiuqing's request; Secretly, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, and Qin Rigang, who were on the front line, were secretly summoned to return to Beijing to rescue them. Wei Changhui immediately led 3,000 elite soldiers back to Tianjing. >>>More
In various places, there were also anti-Qing uprisings such as the Shangmao Zhong Douhai Knife Society, the White Lotus Sect, the Black Flag Army, and the Red Flag Army, which not only dealt a blow to the Manchu Dynasty, but also ensured the smooth development of the Taiping Pei Heavenly Kingdom Movement.
I think that the Taiping Rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the feudal ruling class, strongly shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and accelerated the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
