Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-30

Since ancient times, "everyone has a love for beauty", no matter when the existence of beautiful women is always very interesting, no one is exempt from vulgarity, so today we will talk about Hong Xuanjiao, the first beauty of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Why did some well-known female figures emerge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement?The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established by Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others after launching an armed uprising, and had its own capital "Tianjing", which was actually the city of Nanjing. This armed uprising movement is also known as the "Taiping Rebellion". Its founder, Hong Xiuquan, is a first-class talent who has repeatedly failed to succeed. Later, he came into contact with the ** religion and absorbed the teachings of the ** religion, founded the "God Worship Sect", developed many believers, and based on this, established an armed army to fight against the Qing court, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was launched. In this movement, Hong Xiuquan called himself the "King of Heaven", and named his supporters Yang Xiuqing as the "King of the East", Wei Changhui as the "King of the North", Shi Dakai as the "King of Wings", and Xiao Chaogui as the "King of the West".

However, the revolution has not yet succeeded, Hong Xiuquan indulged in lust, did not ask about political affairs, after the Tianjing rebellion, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom gradually fell, and was gradually eliminated by the Qing army, Hong Xiuquan died of illness in Tianjing in the second year of Tongzhi, and more than a month after his death, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed. In terms of the nature of the Taiping Movement, it was deeply flawed in that it was able to destroy an old world, but failed to create a new one, and in the end it did not even overthrow the old world. Objectively speaking, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom movement also had its progressive side, and in the area ruled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it still had a huge impact on social change, such as Hong Xiuquan's propaganda doctrine advocating "equality between men and women", and in the imperial examination opened by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, women were also allowed to participate in the imperial examination, which was unprecedented in ancient China. Monogamy was advocated in marriage, and the first marriage certificate in the history of the world was issued, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement also attracted many female believers in the early days. Therefore, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, legendary women such as Hong Xuanjiao and Fu Shanxiang emerged.

In this article, I will talk to you about the life of Hong Xuanjiao, the first beauty of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. What kind of legendary story does Hong Xuanjiao, the first beauty of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have?Hong Xuanjiao's original name was Yang Yunjiao, a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong, formerly known as Wang Xuanjiao, according to legend, Hong Xuanjiao once dreamed of God, and God said to her, "Ten years later, someone will come here to teach people to worship God, and you should obey." And Hong Xiuquan also happened to claim that he had a dream that year and began to "save the world" as the second son of God. Later, Hong Xuanjiao married Xiao Chaogui, a charcoal burner, when Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan were preaching, Xiao Chaogui joined them, and when Hong Xiuquan had not decided to revolt, Feng Yunshan was ** imprisoned, at this time Yang Xiuqing claimed to be the father of heaven and organized the congregation to rescue Feng Yunshan. Hong Xuanjiao claimed to be the daughter of the Heavenly Father, and Hong Xuanjiao's appearance became the leader of the female believers, so the two hit it off, and Hong Xiuquan even claimed that Hong Xuanjiao was the daughter of the "Heavenly Father" and his sister, and Yang Yunjiao was renamed Hong Xuanjiao. In response to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Hong Xuanjiao formed the "Women's Army", leading the women to put on armor and go into battle in the south and the north.

The women's army led by Hong Xuanjiao has made great contributions to Hong Xiuquan's cause and made great contributions. And people have mixed opinions about Hong Xuanjiao's image, some people believe that Hong Xuanjiao is a beautiful woman, strong martial arts, and good at double knives. A literati in the Guangxu period once described her in "The Biography of Hong Xuanjiao", saying that she "came out with light makeup, waved double knives, and fell sharply in the snow." Riding a horse, the saddle waist cage is white, the long body is white, and the skirt is blue and bright. Linfeng raised his wrists, commanded the female army, and the voice of Shanpei was mixed, and he thought that he was a celestial. She can be called a "strange woman". Some people also say that Hong Xuanjiao is a **, has a chaotic private life, and has personal affairs with several kings in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is even a "public lover", but they are all recorded in the wild history, and there is nowhere to study, but Bo Zhujun just smiled. How did Hong Xuanjiao, the first beauty of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, go from peak to loneliness?Hong Xuanjiao's sadness lies in the fact that Xiao Chaogui died soon after the Taiping Rebellion, and Hong Xuanjiao became a widow, but Hong Xuanjiao could not ignore her role in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement because she held a lot of power in her hands.

As the saying goes, "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door", not to mention a figure like Hong Xuanjiao, it is said that Hong Xuanjiao couldn't bear the loneliness after Xiao Chaogui died in battle and walked with Yang Xiuqing, but Yang Xiuqing is also a flowery person, and after having a new love, he became more and more cold to Hong Xuanjiao, which caused Hong Xuanjiao to be very angry. So he colluded with Wei Changhui, the king of the north, to kill Yang Xiuqing, and some say that Hong Xuanjiao was committed to Wei Changhui, and used this as a price code to ask Wei Changhui to kill Yang Xiuqing, and later Hong Xuanjiao also designed to assassinate Yang Xiuqing, and the "Tianjing Incident" also kicked off. Many people blame Hong Xuanjiao for the failure of the Taiping Rebellion, which is actually irresponsible. In the early days of the Taiping Rebellion, women were called upon to join the anti-Qing movement, and when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom achieved certain successes, its leaders had long since left this behind.

Male superiority and female inferiority are still the mainstream of society, and the feudal hierarchy is once again advocated, the most prominent manifestation of which is that according to the rank of people, they can marry a different number of wives and concubines, the so-called monogamy, has not been promoted in practice, in the case of the female officials set up by Hong Xiuquan, historians have believed that it was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that allowed women to hold official positions was an important basis for women's emancipation. In fact, the female officials have no real power, and the female officials in the Heavenly King's Mansion are the women of the Heavenly King, because there is no castration of eunuchs, and the women in the Heavenly King's Mansion have to do a lot of work such as construction and miscellaneous labor. In this context, in fact, Hong Xuanjiao's ending can also be imagined, after Xiao Chaogui's death, Hong Xuanjiao also disappeared, and most of the later legendary stories were made up.
