1. The relationship between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the West The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom believed in the worship of God and mistook the western invaders for its own followers. Just after the Taiping Army entered Tianjing, British and French envoys arrived in Tianjing to spy out the reality and attitude of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has ties with the West. At this time, foreign countries still adopted a "neutral" attitude. On the one hand, they wanted to use the Taiping Rebellion to blackmail the Qing government, on the other hand, they tried to force the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to recognize its aggressive rights and interests. The relationship between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the West is reflected in:

(1) Absorb western religious theories and transform them for their own use. After the Opium War, foreign invaders forced the Qing government to lift the ban on western religions. Influenced by the Christian idea of "everyone is equal before God", Hong Xiuquan founded the worship of God to oppose the Qing Dynasty and its feudal rule.

(2) Seeking truth from the West, he first put forward a plan to develop capitalism in China. After the Opium War, Britain occupied Hong Kong Island, and Hong Rengan studied and studied western political, economic and social theories in Hong Kong. After he came to Tianjing, he put forward a "new chapter on senior management" in 1859, which was full of capitalist color.

③ Oppose foreign aggression. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom adheres to an independent foreign policy, prohibits foreign interference in China's internal affairs and does not recognize the Nanjing Clause.

At the same time, a large-scale armed struggle against foreign invaders was launched, which broke the rapid colonization of China by western invaders.

An attempt.

(4) advocate equal trade and free trade with western countries, protect legitimate commercial trade, prohibit opium smoking and practice independence.

Tariff policy.

2. Due to the conservatism and backwardness of farmers, the Boxer Movement could not put forward a clear political program. The slogan of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the foreign countries" is anti-imperialist and patriotic, but it is not a very scientific slogan and has a backward side. Because of the deep hatred of imperialism, I hate everything about foreigners, including science, technology and culture. Therefore, wherever the Boxers went, they demolished railways and cut wires, thus destroying all foreign goods.
