Guangdong's heaven and earth will be the same as the change.

There have been many peasant uprisings in Chinese history, especially the "Heaven and Earth Society" and the "Datong Rebellion" in Guangdong, which caused quite a stir in Guangxi. This is led by Chen Kai and Li Wenmao, swept through Guangdong and Guangxi, and left a strong mark in China's development history. Although the rebellion ended in defeat, it left behind many monumental things.

The Tiandihui began in Guangdong, and Chen Kai was a native of Sanshui, Foshan, who made a living as a carpenter, setting up rafts, and supporting boats. In July 1854, he led the "Heaven and Earth Society" to rise up in Shiwan, Foshan, under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", and proclaimed himself "Hongmen", while the rebels called themselves "Hongbing", and called themselves "Red Soldiers" in the name of "Red Turban" and "Red Belt". Another uprising leader, Li Wenmao, was from Heshan, Guangdong, and was well-known in Guangzhou and Foshan. He used the existing Guangdong kung fu to organize artists into an "army" to somersaults, fight in the ring, and fight in the ring, creating the "opera troupe" in China's history.

At first, the purpose of the uprising was to occupy Guangzhou, but the British and American countries had been sending grain, grass and ammunition to the garrison in Guangzhou, so that they could not capture the city. Chen Kai and Li Wenmao led their troops north to Guangxi, occupied Wuzhou, Tengxian, and Pingnan, and finally captured Xunzhou (Guiping) on September 27, 1855, and established the country as Dacheng. After they took root in Guangxi, they continued to wage wars, and once captured Chicheng County, which was in several states of Guangxi. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were its own coins, including Chen Kaiyuan's "Hong De Tongbao" and Li Wenmao's "Pingjing Shengbao", both of which are rare in China, and both are circulated in the market under the name of "two people".

The former site of the Daesung Palace.

The former site of Dacheng Wangfu is mostly concentrated in the area of Guiping, Guangxi, which was also called Xunzhou in ancient times. Although Dacheng was not developed on a large scale at that time, the ** primary school in Xishan Town, Guiping County still retains many historical sites, such as an ancient well, a cyan staircase, etc., all of which belong to the palace of Dacheng. But there are still many monuments buried on campus.

In addition, at the entrance of Guiping Zhongshan Park, there is also a pair of ancient stone lions, which once stood in front of the gate of the palace. This pair of stone lions, first appeared in the Ming Dynasty, located in front of the Yamen of the Xunzhou Prefect's Mansion, it is not only a witness to the history of Xunzhou Mansion, but also accompanied by the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Other cultural relics of Dacheng in Guangxi.

In addition to Guiping, there are several other relics of Dacheng Prefecture in Guangxi. In the central primary school of Xishan Town, Guiping City, under the jurisdiction of Guigang City, Guangxi, there is an old site composed of Dacheng Palace;At the entrance of Guiping, Zhongshan, there is a pair of ancient lion statues placed since the Ming Dynasty;Other sites may also be buried underground.

Dachengguo** was a peasant uprising led by the Tiandihui in Guangdong, which started in Guangdong and finally formed a huge country with Guangxi as the center. Although the rebellion ended in defeat, its impact was too great to ignore. The site of the Ming Dynasty is centered on Guiping, Guangxi, and there are cultural relics such as Xunzhou Mansion and so on. Although many of the ruins are buried underground, it is still possible to know what happened back then from the remaining ruins and relics. The rebellion between the Guangdong Tiandihui and the Datong Kingdom was a major event that could not be ignored in China's modern history.
