by Xia Chuntao
About This Novel
The study of the history of the Taiping Rebellion has achieved fruitful results, but now every step forward requires great efforts. This book attempts to examine the Taiping Rebellion in the context of the entire modern Chinese society from the perspective of multi-party interactions. It not only traces the political, military, and economic conditions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period from a social perspective; it also focuses on the social dynamics at that time and the ideological characteristics of Hong Xiuquan and others, covering issues that are confusing and controversial in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; it also examines the countermeasures of the Qing court as its opponent, the ups and downs of officialdom and people's livelihood conditions, and its impact on late Qing society. New writing on old topics, well-founded remarks, and new ideas will undoubtedly vigorously promote the study of the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Rebellion.
