Kalau cari informasi lain masuk ke Google, ketik Tai Ping Tien Guo atau Tai Ping Rebellion maka keluar seabrek
Sebagaimana halnya pemberontakan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok fanatis pemberontak Tai Ping (walaupun banyak nilai baiknya) menganggap budaya lama itu busuk dan harus diberantas sampai keakar-akarnya, contoh : lihat saja aksi Taliban di Afghanistan yang merusak patung Buddha di Jalan Sutra dengan meriam.
Tentara Tai Ping sendiri penuh tahyul dan mempunyai masalah kepemimpinan sebagai contoh ada ilustrasi di bawah ini :
It is the spring of 1864. The bloodiest conflict of the 19th Century is coming to a close. A double line of earthwork fortifications rings the Rebel capitol, bolstered by 120 forts bristling with sharpened poles and cannon, protected by deep ditches. Anyone who sticks his head above ground is a target for a musket ball. The besiegers are digging tunnels underneath the rebel breastworks. From the river nearby, armored shallow draft steamships pound the city with rifled cannons and huge smoothbores. General Li, the most competent and charismatic of the Rebel generals, has attempted to breach the investment but failed. Reluctantly, he reports to his commander in chief that the city faces starvation and should be evacuated. The name of the city is Nanjing (or Nanking), the capitol of Anwhei Province. It is located on the Yangtze river. General Li's full name is Li Xiu Cheng, famous throughout China as the Chung Wang, the Loyal King of the Tai Ping Rebellion. The commander in chief, to whom Li reported, the Tien Wang, or Heavenly King, refuses to evacuate. Instead, he announces that, as in the Book of Exodus, God will provide manna to feed the soldiers of Nanjing; and to prove the point, he gathers weeds from his courtyard and eats them. Within a week he is sick. Within a month he is dead; in his last moments he tells his followers that he is departing for Heaven to seek celestial reinforcements. Within a year the Great Rebellion of the Tai Ping has collapsed, leaving the Manchu dynasty fatally weakened and much of China in devastation. Such is the fate of the Tien Wang, Hong Xiu Quan, self-taught biblical scholar and religious visionary, the man who believed himself to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. Sojah, Tan Loo Kay
