In the 3th year of Daoguang in the late Qing Dynasty (1851), Hong Xiuquan revolted in Jintian Village, Guilin, and founded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the same year, Yang Xiuqing was named East King (at the age of nine) in Yong 'an. In the third year of Xianfeng (1853), the Taiping Army made Tianjing its capital. It is the first time in China's history that "women's subjects" will be opened soon (previously only men's subjects won the top prize). Fu Shanxiang rushed out of the secular prejudice and bravely signed up for the gynecological examination. The examiner was Hong Xiuquan's sister and Hong Xuanjiao, the wife of the Western King Xiao Chaogui. As a result, Fu Shanxiang won the first place in Dingjia and became the first female champion in the history of China.
Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, elected Fu Shanxiang to the East Palace, and made him a "history of waitresses" first, and then a "book". Fu Shanxiang's literary talent is superior, he is proficient in literature and history, and he is competent. He is responsible for reviewing all documents and letters, and he is appreciated by King Hong Xiuquan and East King Yang Xiuqing. Soon after, he was promoted to "rewarding the Prime Minister", handling the military affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, formulating the "celestial land system", developing production, advocating land to the tiller and other measures, and became the political and economic right-hand man of King Hong Xiuquan and East King Yang Xiuqing, which played an important role in the politics and economy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
in p>1854, under the influence of Fu Shanxiang, in the name of "speaking for the heavenly father", Yang Xiuqing successively revised the cultural policy that the kingdom of heaven was only allowed to publish "old and new conventions" and demoted all ancient books as "demon books", and abolished the "women's library" that made women forget their husbands, restored the family system and allowed young women to marry. Fu Shanxiang persuaded Yang Xiuqing, the East King, to forbid his subordinates to destroy cultural relics, and set up a large museum in the East Palace where he lived. She has made great contributions to the development of China culture and the collection and protection of cultural relics.
Fu Shanxiang was the first to join the Taiping Army. After she was appointed as the Prime Minister, she also formulated a policy of liberating women for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, advocating "equality between men and women", "all women in the world are sisters" and "being bold and killing demons with one heart". Wherever the Taiping Army went, a large number of suffering women actively joined the army to participate in the war. For example, Su Sanniang, a famous "Celestial Woman", is a poor daughter in ling shan, Guangdong Province. She lost her parents when she was a child, and after joining the army, she married Su San, the leader of the Taiping Army's Heaven and Earth Society. After her husband was killed by the Qing army, she did not flinch and continued to fight through her husband's blood. Su Sanniang led more than 2, insurgents to the north and south, all the way to Tianjing. At the beginning of the uprising, there were only 7, female soldiers. When they hit Tianjing, they increased to 4 troops, reaching 1, people. In the Taiping Army, there are women in charge, women in charge of the army, women in charge of the army and women heads of families.
In September, 1852, when the Taiping Army attacked Changsha, Xiao Chaogui, the western king who commanded the battle, was suddenly killed by a cannon, and the enemy took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. At this critical moment, I saw a female general in the camp, Ma Xiangqian, marching into battle and bravely continuing to command the battle. She is Hong Xuanjiao, the sister of King Hong Xiuquan and the wife of West King Xiao Chaogui. Hong Xuanjiao led all the soldiers, not afraid of the enemy's artillery fire, broke through the blockade layer by layer, and inserted into the enemy camp, killing the enemy with fear and lying dead all over the ground. The story of Hong Xuanjiao Daifu commanding heroic operations inspired the soldiers and women of Taiping Army. At that time, there was a song: "Follow Hong Xuanjiao, you will play with muskets and knives." "Following Fu Shanxiang, we can govern the country and make women self-reliant." There is also the saying that "Wu Youhong propagandizes jiao, while Wen has Fu Shanxiang".
In p>1856, Yang Xiuqing broke the camp of the Qing army in the south and Peking University, which eased the siege of Tianjing. Because he was proud of his merits, he led to internal killings, which greatly weakened the power of the Taiping Army, and finally led to the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Fu Shanxiang died in the civil strife of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Fu Shanxiang is the first female champion in the history of China. She made a series of policies and made important contributions to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's governance and promotion of gender equality.
