The Taiping Rebellion, which lasted from 1850 to 1864, sought significant reforms in China, including the establishment of a new socio-political order based on the teachings of Hong Xiuquan, who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ. The rebellion aimed to address issues like poverty, corruption, and the influence of foreign powers. It promoted ideas such as land redistribution, gender equality, and the rejection of Confucianism. Although the rebellion was ultimately suppressed, it had far-reaching impacts on Chinese society, exacerbating social unrest and highlighting the need for reform.
