What do you think of Hong Xiuquan? Evaluation of Hong Xiuquan s historical figures

1 In the Qing Dynasty at that time, many citizens were weak due to opium smoking, and it was difficult to quit smoking, which led to a large outflow, a void in the treasury, and poor people's livelihood. Hong Xiuquan banned the opium trade by enacting severe punishments, which had a good effect. On the principle of sovereignty, Hong Xiuquan did not recognize any unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty that humiliated the country.

2 Hong Xiuquan also expounded the idea of political equality strongly demanded by the broad masses of peasants in accordance with the general religious doctrine of "only one true God." "The Song of the Salvation of the Original Path" believes that there is a soul in addition to the physical body of man, and this soul of man is obtained from God, therefore, it says: "All brothers in the whole world, and souls are all from heaven, and God regards them as innocent."

Since "all the people in the world are brothers" and "God regards them as innocent", then it is everyone's right to worship God. Feudal rulers established a hierarchy to maintain their ruling order. According to the theory of "Song of Salvation of the Original Way", the feudal emperor and the people, the landlord and the peasant, the master and the slave are all children of God, all "brothers and sisters", and all are equal.

This idea of political equality inspired the revolutionary consciousness of the peasants who were in dire straits, and violently attacked the feudal ruling order.

3. Achieved a number of famous generals such as Zeng Guofan, and honed a new army that later gave a severe blow to the invaders.

4. Accelerate the process of China's modern society from a feudal society to a modern society.

Hong Xiuquan founded the Worship of God Society, led the largest and longest peasant uprising in Chinese history, and established a regime in Nanjing against the Qing Dynasty. It shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule, and it also had an anti-imperialist nature. However, after the establishment of power, he began to enjoy his achievements and did not want to forge ahead, and finally the Taiping army fought for power and profit, and failed.

Hong Xiuquan also did not escape from the desire for power, lacking sufficient vision and willpower.

has certain merits and a spirit of resistance, but the later stage is more corrupt, and the character is doomed to failure.

Hong Xiuquan was the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and led the peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Taiping Rebellion was an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement.

1. In addition to the limitations of class, the limitations of the times, and the imperfection of the political system, the key lies in the lack of talents in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also engaged in the establishment of science and technology, but obviously failed to select extremely outstanding talents.

2. In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom leadership group, Feng Yunshan, who has a high cultural quality, died too early; Shi Dakai, who is both civil and military, is not very important, and even can't bear to be excluded and waving away; Yang Xiuqing has political talents, but his political quality is not high; Hong Xiuquan is thoughtful and ambitious, but lacks leadership skills.

3. In short, including Hong Xiuquan, I am afraid that they were not the first-class talents in the country at that time, or failed to give full play to the role of first-class talents. On the contrary, talents who really belong to the first-class such as Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang are in the enemy camp, and they are gradually reused by the Qing Dynasty and can show their talents to the fullest. Although Hong Xiuquan may be inferior to Zeng Guofan in terms of talent, we cannot affirm Zeng Guofan and deny Hong Xiuquan because of this, but should be the opposite, because the revolutionary struggle carried out by Hong Xiuquan is just, despite its shortcomings; Zeng Guofan's suppression of the people's revolution was unjust.

4. In fact, in terms of talent alone, we should not underestimate the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It should be said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has made remarkable achievements far beyond their predecessors, whether in terms of the achievements of revolutionary theory, the results of seeking truth from the West, or the level of building an army and political power! Especially in the early days of the movement, its leaders were able to unite as one, share weal and woe, and be full of vigor, from Jintian to Tianjing, all the way through the storm.

Didn't even Zeng Guofan's Hunan army be repeatedly defeated by the Taiping army?

5. It is a pity that a group of reckless heroes only know how to fight the world but do not know how to govern the world. They thought that they should enjoy the country with blood and sweat, but they forgot how to realize the ideal of "one family in the world and sharing peace". However, it should not be said that under the historical conditions at that time, the rebels could not have realized the social ideal of "having land and farming, food and food, clothing and clothing, money and work, everywhere and no one without food and clothing." Even after another century and a half, in a modern society with highly developed science and technology, the realization of such a human ideal is still far away.
