Also known as "The Romance of Hong Xiuquan", it begins with Hong Xiuquan's uprising and ends with Zeng Guofan's victory in the siege of Jinling City. It is an important work in the history of modern Chinese novels. The author summarizes and tailors the Taiping Revolution, a major historical event with numerous facts and figures, to create a series of vivid characters, and uses artistic brushwork to describe the rise, growth, and decline of the Taiping Revolutionary Movement. Since the publication of the single volume in 1908, it has had an extremely profound and widespread impact.
