Reviving Han Prosperity, 1844

The author's introduction is problematic. During the Qing Dynasty, due to the destruction of basic schools such as community schools, a large number of books were also destroyed. Out of a population of 400 million, the literacy rate was probably only a few hundred thousand, most of whom were Manchu bannermen.

They have been unfairly maligned too much. Although they couldn't save China, they paved the way for the future Chinese revolution with their blood and flesh. Therefore, they deserve a place on the monument, shining like stars despite being as insignificant as grass.

A courageous author writes about the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China on Qidian.

A hundred chapters have passed and there's still no rebellion; it's truly a case of "a scholar's rebellion will never succeed in ten years." Can't historical novels stop spouting nonsense? Otherwise, reading them really makes you feel like your brain is being shrunk.

This is so good! Other books about the Taiping Rebellion only focus on individual heroes in a peasant uprising, never discussing ideological issues, only military matters, and neglecting education, only talking about development. Their level is too low.

1. I've also read several novels about the Taiping Rebellion, and most of them attribute the conflict between the Hakka and the indigenous people to land disputes.

The biggest problem with this book is that it portrays the gentry too positively. They are concerned about the country, after all, they are the rulers, but they are not necessarily concerned about the people.

The author's strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious, so it's understandable that the book isn't very popular. The author's strength lies in their ability to write historically accurate and relevant historical fiction, but their weakness is that the author is somewhat of a pretentious, artsy type.

The Taiping Rebellion massacred many Manchus in the south, and after the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing government lost control of the south, thus creating an opportunity for revolution.

The Taiping Rebellion is a very niche subject, making it difficult to write about. I remember over a decade ago there were many novels about the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, such as *The Madman of the Far East*, *The Warlord of the Xinhai Revolution*, *The Shareholder of a Great Power*, and *Rebirth of the Red Star Legend*… Now they've all been removed from Qidian.com.
