Sixty five years after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why did the state issue a decree

Because although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed, it was also an important reform.

Because the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also played a certain role in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has also made some achievements for our history.

Because this movement has played a role in promoting the development of history to a certain extent.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the largest peasant uprising in the history of our country.

There are too many, the corruption of the leadership, infighting, the absence of a program, the detachment from the broad masses of the people, the backwardness of the system, the old-style revolutionary ......

The inferiority of the peasants is the root cause of the failure. Without solving this problem, it is impossible to achieve victory.

Significance: (1) The Taiping Rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the feudal ruling class, shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's feudal rule, and accelerated the decline of the Qing Dynasty; (2) The Taiping Rebellion also dealt a powerful blow to foreign invading forces and taught the invaders a proper lesson; (3) The Taiping Rebellion was the culmination of the old-style peasant war in China, and it had new historical characteristics that were different from those of the peasant war. (4) the Taiping Rebellion attacked the orthodox authority of Confucius and the Confucian classics, and weakened the spiritual pillar of feudal rule to a certain extent; (5) In the Asian national liberation movements of the mid-19th century, the Taiping Rebellion and the national liberation movements of other Asian countries converged to attack the domination of Western colonialists in Asia.

Reasons for failure: 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 a program for social reform, failed to stop and overcome the growth of corruption in the leading group, and failed to maintain the unity of the leading group 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 ideological theory of the worship of God brought harm to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising.

From an objective point of view, Chinese and foreign reactionary forces colluded to jointly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Celery.

Lesson: The Taiping Rebellion and its defeat showed that in semi-colonial and semi-feudal China, the peasant class could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle to victory due to the limitations of class and the times. A simple peasant war could not accomplish the historical task of national independence and the liberation of the people.

There are three main reasons for the failure of the Taiping Rebellion:

1. The limitations of the peasant class. The peasant class has problems such as dispersion and conservatism, and the land question, which the peasants attach the most importance to, has not been resolved.

Second, strategic mistakes. Yang Xiuqing believed that if he occupied Nanjing, he could occupy the area south of the Yellow River.

3. Internal corruption. After Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing occupied Nanjing, they only cared about enjoyment, which led to serious internal corruption.

Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement was not orderly, and the commanders made command errors, the corruption within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also very serious, and the peasant class was very scattered and had no unity, so it led to the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The limitations of the peasant class. The leaders of the Taiping Rebellion were deeply influenced by feudal ideology and still had the limitations of the small-scale peasant stage.

This is because the preparation at that time was not particularly sufficient, and then the Qing ** at that time was also particularly corrupt and incompetent, and did not receive corresponding support.

The main reason is that the timing was not right at that time, in fact, it was also because of the impact caused by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and many things have been exposed.

The minds of the leading figures have not been opened, their pattern is still very small, and their military capabilities are not very strong.

The reasons and lessons of the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

1. The fundamental cause of the defeat is the lack of leadership of the advanced class. The peasant class is not the representative of the new productive forces and relations of production, but bears the class limitations inherent in the small producers.

2. The specific reasons are that a complete and correct political program and social reform program cannot be put forward, and there is no guidance from scientific theories. It is impossible to maintain the unity of the leading group for a long time, and on foreign issues, there is a lack of rational understanding of the essence of the invasion of China by foreign capitalist powers.

3. Lessons learned: The occurrence and failure of the Taiping Rebellion showed that in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, the peasants had great revolutionary power, but they could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle to victory.

Historical lesson: The failure of the Taiping Rebellion fully illustrates that the peasant class could not lead the victory of the Chinese revolution due to the limitations of class and the times.

In order to accomplish the overthrow of the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to have revolutionary ideology and theoretical guidance that conforms to the trend of history and to meet the urgent needs of the broad masses of the people.

While opposing feudalism, we must also oppose the capitalist powers, and only by opposing feudalism, opposing the capitalist powers, and opposing bureaucratic capitalism can we accomplish the task of saving the country and the people. The history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the subsequent Xinhai Revolution has provided valuable reference experience for the later revolutionary movement.
