An inventory of peasant uprising slogans throughout the history of China

1. Xia people: The days are mourning, and I will die with you!

Evaluation: Xia Jie is a famous tyrant in history, and he massacred the people extremely cruelly. This remark was so famous that the Chinese welcomed Shang Tang and exiled him. Although the specific events of the uprising cannot be verified, given the fierceness of this "slogan", it is presumed that there is one.

Slogan type: motivational type;

2. Chen Sheng of the Qin Dynasty: Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather have the kind? If you attack without justice, you will punish the Qin Dynasty.

Evaluation: This slogan is indeed powerful. At that time, there were also Xiang Yu's "He can replace it" and Liu Bang's "A man should be like this". ——Yes, do you have the guts? Why do we suffer while you enjoy wealth? Provocative indeed. The rulers of the Song Dynasty transformed it into "Generals have no seed, and men should strive for self-improvement." It seems that the emperor still had the seed, but he gave in after all, and called on everyone to study hard, which was considered smart.

Slogan type: motivational;

3. The Red Eyebrow Army of the New Dynasty: Those who kill will die, and those who injure will be compensated.

Evaluation: Fan Chong was a farmer and illiterate, but he also imitated the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, haha. Although this kind of slogan that emphasizes order is not as loud as other types, it is clear and concrete, making it easy for the people to understand and support themselves.

Slogan type: policy type;

4. Li Tong in the New Dynasty: "The Liu family has risen, and the Li family has assisted."

Assessment: Han Dynasty Superstition was prevalent during this period, prophecies and weft books were circulated, and prophetic things were very fashionable. These were the words of "half-immortal" Li Tong to persuade Liu Xiu to revolt and to encourage him.

Slogan type: confusing type;

5. Yellow Turban Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should stand; aged in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous.

Evaluation: At this time, prophetic things are more popular. Zhang Jiao is a doctor, a seasoned Taoist, and half a scholar. He has good qualities and good organizational skills, but his military skills are average. Although the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse at that time, the feudal tycoons had strong troops and horses. If the uprising did not occur in various places at the same time, there would be no hope of success.

Slogan type: confusing.

6. Wang Bo of the Sui Dynasty: The Song of Death in Wuxiang Liaodong

Chishiro in front of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red Luo cotton back crotch. Long silt invades half of the sky, and the wheel-knife shines brightly in the sun. They go up the mountain to eat deer and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when I heard the officers and soldiers were arriving, I raised my sword and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong dies, beheading will cause no harm.

Evaluation: In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang was ruthlessly exploitative, carrying out large-scale construction projects, patrolling for pleasure, and heavy corvee and military service. The people were in dire straits, which finally triggered a large-scale peasant uprising. In the seventh year of Daye (611), Emperor Yang prepared for the conquest of Goryeo and mobilized millions of soldiers and civilians across the country. "The world died in the war and the families lost their wealth." Especially Shandong and Hebei suffered more serious damage. , coupled with floods, droughts and famines, the prelude to the peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty first kicked off here. This slogan tells the people in the form of poetry that there is no way to survive!

Slogan type: motivational type;

7. Li Mi from Wagang in the Sui Dynasty: Exhausting the bamboos in the Southern Mountains will lead to endless crimes; breaking the waves of the East China Sea will lead to endless evils.

Evaluation: This is Li Mi's crusade against Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Because Li Mi is also an upper class member of society, he cannot make in-depth suggestions like farmers. Instead, he attacks from the moral standards of the ruling class. However, the writing style is good, leaving an idiom: too many books to write.

Slogan type: denunciation type;

8. Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty: Tianmenbu Jianping

Evaluation: Huang Chao’s proposal of "Jiunping" was used in the peasant uprising. This is the first time in history.

Slogan type: policy type;

9. Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun of the Northern Song Dynasty: I am ill and the rich and poor are unequal, but now it is yours!

Evaluation: With the summary of historical experience, the superstitious color of the peasant uprising slogans gradually faded, and the questions raised gradually pointed to the feudal system itself, and became more and more clear, specific and systematic.

Slogan type: motivational type;

10. Zhong Xiang and Yang Mo of the Southern Song Dynasty: The equals of nobles and nobles will be rich and poor.

Evaluation: Xiang Yangmo's uprising was the first time in Chinese history that the slogan "Wait for Guijian" was proposed. This uprising was planned and initiated by Zhong Xiang, but Zhong Xiang died shortly after the uprising officially broke out. The five-year struggle was carried out under the leadership of Yang Mo. After Yang Mo's defeat, the rebels who surrendered to Yue Fei also became the backbone of the resistance against Jin. This slogan is not only about economic issues, but also puts forward the goal of political status issues, that is, "waiting for your practice".

Slogan type: Policy type:

11. Han Shantong and Liu Futong’s Red Scarf Army in the Yuan Dynasty: King Ming was born; the stone man with one eye stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River world.

Evaluation: The slogans of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were very superstitious, but they had one characteristic: they relied on the power of the foreign "Mingjiao" and the already fierce ethnic conflicts, so Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded in the end. Strictly speaking, this was the only successful peasant uprising in ancient times.

Slogan type: superstitious;

12. Zhang Xianzhong of the Ming Dynasty: Level the country and eliminate corrupt officials.

Evaluation: The target of the attack is strong, but it does not touch on the deeper issues.

Slogan type: motivational;

13. Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty: Equalizing the land and freeing grain.

Assessment: Li Zicheng’s uprising had a profound impact on Chinese history. The slogan of "equal land and no grain" has touched upon the feudal land ownership system, marking that the peasant uprising reached a new level at that time.

Slogan type: policy type;

14. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty: Farmers work together, people eat together, people who have money work together, there is unevenness everywhere, and no one is not full and warm.

Evaluation: This slogan inherits the specific content of the previous "Equal practice, equal wealth and poverty", and uses a Christian form to depict a blueprint for an ideal world for people. It is indeed progress.

Slogan type: policy type;

15. The Boxers of the Qing Dynasty: Support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries.

Evaluation: The most confusing and failed slogan.

Slogan type: policy type;

16. Qing Dynasty Alliance: expel the Tartars, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equalize land rights.

Evaluation: This uprising slogan has both political purposes and economic policies, and it puts national conflicts first to inspire the people. It is a pity that the "equal land rights" initiative was not realized in the end. It was defeated by the Communist Party simply because of this "equal land rights".
