185 1 year 1 month, Hong Xiuquan led worshippers to launch an uprising in Jintian Village, Guiping County, Guangxi Province, and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The contradiction between feudalism and the masses of the people is the main reason for the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. The war launched by Taiping Army is a just war against the decadent rule of Qing government and the oppression and exploitation of landlord class. The Taiping Rebellion was the peak of the old peasant war in China. The peasant war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the first large-scale armed struggle of China people against aggression and feudalism in the modern history of China. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is facing a new situation that has never been seen in previous peasant wars in China's history. This "new situation" refers to the joint suppression by Chinese and foreign reactionary forces. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement made some preparations for the bourgeois-democratic revolution in modern China, which refers to the anti-aggression and anti-feudalism tasks entrusted to it by the times. By the first half of 1856, the Taiping Army had reached its military heyday. 185 1 September, after the Taiping Army conquered Yong 'an, it established a royal system. From September 65438 to September 0856, the Tianjing incident seriously weakened the leadership and military strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and became a watershed for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to turn from prosperity to decline.

Taiping Heavenly Kingdom formulated a complete revolutionary program, which made Taiping Heavenly Kingdom the highest peak of peasant war in feudal society of China. It expressed farmers' desire for land for thousands of years in China Land System. In fact, it is a relatively complete social reform plan centered on solving land problems, and it is a programmatic document that best reflects the social ideal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the characteristics of this peasant uprising. It established the plan of equal distribution of land, that is, according to the principle of "all the fields under the world are cultivated by all the people under the world", which fundamentally denied the foundation of feudal society, that is, feudal land ownership, and reflected the strong desire of farmers for equal distribution of land, but it did not go beyond the narrow vision of small farmers and producers, and its plan of equal distribution of land was not put into practice even in the areas occupied by Taiping rebels.

The social development plan "Senior Minister New Chapter" promulgated in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the first systematic plan to develop capitalism in China's modern history, which was full of capitalist color, but it was not put into practice due to the historical conditions at that time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement impacted the orthodox authority of Confucius and Confucian classics, weakened the spiritual pillar of feudal rule to some extent, but failed to treat Confucianism correctly. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement effectively attacked foreign aggression, impacted the rule of western colonialists in Asia, refused to recognize unequal treaties and banned opium trade, but lacked a rational understanding of western capitalist aggressors.

The peasant war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom shook the foundation of feudal rule in the Qing Dynasty, dealt a powerful blow to the western capitalist invaders, and showed the rebellious spirit and fighting capacity of the peasant class. However, the peasant class is not the representative of the new productive forces and relations of production. They can't overcome the fixed class limitations of small producers, fundamentally put forward a complete and correct political program and social reform plan, stop and overcome the growth of corruption in the leading group itself, and maintain the unity of the leading group for a long time. All these have greatly weakened the centripetal force and combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement shows that: on the one hand, farmers have great revolutionary power; On the other hand, farmers cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle to win.

(20 18 Yichang) was a great anti-feudal and anti-aggression peasant movement in the modern history of China, and it was also the peak of the peasant war in China for thousands of years. This uprising was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement led by Hong Xiuquan.
