    Because it was to avoid these provinces from having the same titles as the six kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, or being homophonic.

    At that time, the name of the province was homophonic with the names of the six kings, and in ancient times, this was a great disrespect to the king. And by changing their names, they could proclaim their royal power.

    Because in ancient times, other people's names were not allowed to clash with royals, so there was a name change this time.

    Because only by changing their previous names can they make their reputation more famous, let them exist longer, and let them be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Because the name of the province at that time collided with the names of the six kings of the Heavenly Kingdom, which was very bad for them, they changed their names.

    Because the name of the province at that time conflicted with the name of the superior of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I felt that the intention was not good, so I changed all of them.

    At that time, the names of the provinces and the six kings were very similar, so it was particularly evasive and bad, so it was changed.

    It's not that all of them are reserved. As a famous peasant uprising in modern times, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still has many local names preserved.

    Because the Taiping Rebellion had failed, the Qing rulers would not allow them to change the name of the province.

    Because the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very strange, it did not conform to the social concept at that time. So there is no reservation.

    The province where I was located was Shanxi Province, which was changed to Shanxi at that time, just to avoid the taboo of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south.

    The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom changed the name of the province in order to avoid the name of the Heavenly King and the East, West, South, and Wing King. Therefore, Guangxi changed its name to Guifu Province because it is the birthplace of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is not bad, Shandong Shanxi has become Shandong and Shanxi, Guizhou has become Guizhou, Jiangxi, Xinjiang and Zhejiang have become Jiangxi, Xinjiang and Zhejiang, Yunnan has become Yunnan and so on.

    Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom practiced a strict hierarchy of upper and lower levels, a system of avoidance was practiced in all areas under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Similarly, some provinces were forced to change their names in order to avoid the suspicion of the six kings in the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. For example, at that time, the southern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was named Feng Yunshan, and in order to avoid his ridicule, he changed the two provinces of Shandong and Shanxi to Shandong Province and Shanxi Province, and changed Yunnan Province to Yunnan Province.

    In order to avoid the ridicule of Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, Guizhou Province was renamed "Guizhou Province". The backbone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came out of Guangxi, and in order to fight for their hometown, they changed Guangxi to "Guifu Province". The three provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Xinjiang do not know which king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has the same "Jiang" character, so these three provinces have also been renamed Zhejiang Jiang, Jiangxi and New Jiang.
