After reading Hong Xiuquan's Calligraphy, I finally understand why he can't even pass the scholar exam …
No matter how the history books identify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a peasant uprising against feudalism and oppression, it is undeniable that this organization is extremely paradoxical in nature, because its leader Hong Xiuquan is a wonderful flower. How wonderful is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? For example, God Jesus often comes to earth! He also insulted the king, regarded the scholar as a "demon", and even used the weather to predict good or bad luck when leading troops to fight. It is this wonderful organization that can occupy nearly half of China and survive for 14 years, which shows how bald the Qing government was. Although the Qing government was decadent, fortunately Zeng Guofan and others suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Feng Youlan said: "If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom reunites China, then the history of China will return to a completely dark period. Hong Xiuquan in film and television stills was born in a farming and reading family. Since the age of 7, he has been studying in the village bookstore and is familiar with ancient books such as the Four Books and Five Classics. The elders in the village are very optimistic that Hong Xiuquan can win fame and honor, but he failed in the Guangzhou Fu test in three children's tests. I was 25 years old after I lost the election for the third time in Guangzhou. After being hit by this, I became seriously ill and fell into a coma several times. During his illness, he had hallucinations. An old man said to him, "By God's orders, he was ordered to come to earth to slay demons. "From then on, Hong Xiuquan was taciturn and behaved strangely. At this time, Hong Xiuquan was not satisfied with the failure of the exam. Six years later, in the spring of 1843, he took the Guangzhou Fu exam again, and the result ended in failure. In fact, the official institutions of the Qing Dynasty were mature, and there was a great demand for all kinds of talents of the central government all over the country. With a little effort and a few more years, at least most scholars can still be admitted. However, why didn't Hong Xiuquan get in? Let's take a look at Hong Xiuquan's calligraphy: Hong Xiuquan's character: wealth is due to filial piety. The picture above shows the calligraphy of the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan, who strengthens his strength with the help of the name of God, but the word is really worrying. It's hard enough to write it completely. In short, this is a peasant uprising led by leaders who have hardly practiced Chinese calligraphy. In the Qing Dynasty, pen and ink prevailed, and even many rural farmers were good at speaking and writing. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan is essentially an uneducated and black-hearted figure. Let's look at the calligraphy of other leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The picture below shows the words of Hong Xiuquan's eldest son. Feel it: When Tianjing fell, Tianguifu Hong, the eldest son of Hong Xiuquan, escaped. Later, he was captured by the Qing army in Jiangxi and executed by Ling Chi in Nanchang, Jiangxi. /kloc-died at the age of 0/6. The following is his own account after he was captured by the Qing army. That's Hong Xiuquan's son. Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a document written by Taiping Heavenly Kingdom writers, survived for 14 years from birth to extinction. This is a regime established by peasant uprising. This vigorous peasant uprising lasted for a long time and participated in a large scale, once occupying half of China for a long time. However, due to many factors, such as internal friction, uprising direction, producer differences and so on, the regime was finally successfully suppressed by the Qing government. At the same time, due to the intentional destruction of information by the Qing government, there are relatively few materials left. Only the calligraphy of six kings was found, such as Hong Xiuquan, Yang and Shi Dakai. The above picture is said to be one of the few handwriting of Dongwangyang. Hong Rengan Liu Yuxi's handwriting on it is not bad, and it is imposing. The handwriting of Li Xiucheng, a loyal monarch of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, tells us that most of the participants in this uprising were peasants with little knowledge, so their cultural preservation was not rich, which can also be perceived from their handwriting. The leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not without good calligraphy. Typical representatives, such as Shi Dakai, only Shi Dakai is most loved by the people. His life was vigorous, he cared about people's livelihood, and his life story was praised by later generations, and he was regarded as "the most perfect image in the peasant uprising in China". In the film and television drama, gentle Shi Dakai looks at the picture below, which is the masterpiece of Wang Shi Dakai's calligraphy. Rong Gong has been writing for a long time, and Gao Yixian called Gu Zuochen. " Between the lines, calligraphy tastes! The brushwork is in place, the structure is broad, the momentum is open, the contrast is strong, and the changes are rich ... Why can Shi Dakai write well? Because he studied and practiced calligraphy since childhood. In the 11th year of Qing Daoguang (183 1), Shi Dakai was born in a wealthy family in Gangbei, Guigang, Guangxi. He studied and wrote since childhood, and was influenced by the uprising at the age of 16. He led the peasant uprising at a young age. If it weren't for this movement, Shi Dakai, who is smart, versatile, kind and brave, would have a very smooth career and might even become a general figure of Zeng Guofan. Obviously, how important is reading and writing to the victory of the revolution? We comparatively observed the winner of 1949-Mao Zhou Zhu. Which word is badly written? So, don't underestimate the people around you who can write well.
