Preface.
When we look back on the concubine selection experience of Hong Xiuquan, a historical celebrity, we can't help but be amazed by his strict selection criteria. Not only did they have a preference for appearance, but there was even a rule that was difficult for women to accept at that time, how special was this condition, and what kind of attention and repercussions did it arouse?
1. The young man is ambitious, and he was disappointed in the two imperial examinations.
In a small village located at the junction of water sources in Guangdong, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is endless. When he was 17 years old, a teenager named Hong Xiuquan was born to a farmer there. He is very intelligent, and after graduation, he struggled to understand the deep and complex cicada wing seal. Everyone believes that this little talent will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future.
When the first great test was over, the boy was full of ideals and ambitions. The boy won the honor of Jinshi in the Huaxian examination, and the villagers rejoiced. Mother smiled with tears in her eyes, son, mother knew that you would be able to do it since you were a child! The boy felt that hope was just around the corner.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. The failure of the two Guangzhou government examinations made the teenager frustrated and depressed. The expectant eyes of the villagers are like sharp weapons, piercing straight into the heart.
Second, a serious illness ignites the spark of ideals.
When he was young, Hong Xiuquan experienced a serious illness that affected his life. On the night when the fever continued, he had a mysterious dream. In the dream, an immortal is dressed in treasure armor, and his eyes are bright. And he told him, The destiny of heaven is so, and thou shalt be king over the kingdom.
After waking up, Hong Xiuquan suddenly realized. He realized that Destiny wanted him to change the world and create brilliance together.
As a result, Hong Xiuquan has a lofty goal. He gave up the imperial examination and traveled extensively to meet like-minded people. Gradually, a united team of righteous men converged around him, fighting for a common ideal - to overthrow corruption and rebuild the world!
3. The girl's personality is deeply attractive, but she regrets that she died early and could not get married.
In Jintian Village, where Hong Xiuquan passed, there was a local girl named Xiuying. At the age of 26, the two met by chance. Xiuying's elegant and refined temperament deeply attracted Hong Xiuquan, and the two soon made a marriage covenant.
For him, accompanying Xiuying to grow old together is undoubtedly the most beautiful yearning. However, the god of fate seems to have played a joke here, and at the moment when he was about to enter the palace of marriage, Xiuying unfortunately passed away, and Fanghua stopped at nineteen. Hong Xiuquan was grief-stricken. The happiness he had rarely had disappeared in an instant. But at that moment, he heard a voice in the air.
Fourth, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rises, and the ideal country soars in fantasy.
Time flies, time flies. In 1856, Hong Xiuquan sat on the throne in front of the statue of his father in Jintian Village, created the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was honored as the Great King! This former poor scholar proved by his strength that he was the object of admiration of the 99 people. Hong Xiuquan is full of passion, strong faith, commitment to building a paradise on earth, and determined to realize this grand dream.
The Taiping Tian** team has achieved success everywhere they went, taking strategic locations such as Wuhan and Nanjing. The Qing Dynasty was shocked. Hong Xiuquan lived in the palace of the Heavenly King in Nanjing and began to carry out his plans.
