1, just a fantasy, not realized: the celestial land system of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a programmatic document of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. There is a revolutionary spirit to overthrow the feudal land system, but there is a strong illusion of absolute egalitarianism, which has not actually been implemented.

2. The rulers are increasingly corrupt and divorced from the people: After the Taiping Army entered Nanjing, it immediately embarked on a large-scale construction project, expanding the Governor's Office of Liangjiang into a heavenly palace, demolishing a large number of houses and employing thousands of male and female workers. In addition, Tianwang constantly selected folk women to enter the palace. These conditions show that the life of the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became very luxurious and corrupt after they entered Tianjing.

3. Religious color: Hong Xiuquan lived in seclusion in the deep palace and devoted a lot of energy to writing religious theology, divorced from the practice of struggle and the masses.

4. The limitations of the peasant class: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed to put forward a practical revolutionary program, and the purpose of the soldiers participating in the revolution was unclear. Most of them are forced to make a living and hope to change the poor economic situation.

Lessons from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom:

1. The failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fully shows that due to the limitations of class and times, it is impossible for the peasant class to lead the China revolution to victory. In order to overthrow the reactionary rule of the Qing government, we need revolutionary ideas and theoretical guidance that conform to the historical trend and meet the urgent needs of the broad masses of the people.

2. While opposing feudalism, we should also oppose capitalist powers. Only by opposing feudalism, capitalist powers and bureaucratic capitalism can we accomplish the task of saving the country and the people. The historical experience of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the later Revolution of 1911 provided valuable reference for the later revolutionary movements.
