Peasant uprising was a very frequent struggle activity in ancient China. When peasants living at the bottom of society are oppressed to the limit by feudal rulers and landlords, it often leads to uprisings.

As a collective activity, how to unite the participants is very important, and in order to achieve this goal, most uprising leaders will choose to put forward a slogan with great appeal in order to inspire people and emphasize the uprising goal.

In many peasant uprisings, many are accompanied by famous slogans. The insurgents marched forward while shouting slogans, and the results were even more brilliant.

Then, in the four major peasant uprisings in ancient China, what slogans appeared respectively, and which of these slogans was the most domineering and inspiring, which could mobilize the enthusiasm of soldiers, make the people willing to participate and provide them with support?

First of all, I have to mention the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history? At the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Guangwu launched the Daze Township Uprising. As the ancestors of the peasant uprising, Chen Sheng and Guangwu can be said to be masters of psychology. As early as the planning stage of the uprising, they agreed to attract supporters in the name of Fu Su, the son who should have succeeded to the throne but was harmed by Zhao Gao, and Xiang Yan, a famous soldier deeply loved by Chu people.

In the preparatory stage, they used people's belief in mysterious things at that time, pretending that foxes howled in the middle of the night, making a sound of "Great Chu revives and Chen Sheng is king". They also secretly put a silk book with the word "Chen" in the belly of the fish, which surprised the foot soldiers.

Knowing people's hearts so well, their performance in the uprising speech was naturally wonderful. At that time, Chen Sheng "Chenning has seeds!" This cry inspired the local people and made the uprising have a good start.

The so-called princes will have seeds, which is a question about origin. If you are not born with noble seeds, that is to say, ordinary people can have that status through resistance.

This is a great encouragement to those who want to achieve something in their hearts, but dare not act. As a result, people followed Chen Sheng and Guangwu in succession, and started the struggle against Qin and the pursuit of power.

As time went on, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. The supreme rulers, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, took turns to do something wrong, which made people complain. At this moment, Zhang Jiao, a huge deer man, stood out. He founded Taiping Road, widely organized the masses, launched the Yellow turban insurrectionary under the slogan "Heaven dies, and the world prospers at the age of 60", and called on the people to follow him to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty and establish a brand-new society.

Zhang Jiao's slogan obviously has a strong religious flavor, and advocates replacing the Han Dynasty with destiny. This feudal superstition is the most popular among the ancient working people, and it has the same effect as Chen Sheng and Guangwu's midnight book collection. In a word, under the call of this slogan, the people of the eight States responded positively, which caused Hanting to fall into panic and chaos, and local officials took the opportunity to gain military power, which also laid the foundation for the future separatist regime.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, many places in the north were dissatisfied with Yang Di's massive construction and militaristic atrocities, and accumulated public grievances. In this case, Wang Bo, whose ancestral home is Zouping, occupied Changbai Mountain and wrote a song "Dead Song of Undirected Liaodong Waves", calling on people to resist tyranny. The poem reads: "The long grass invades the sky and a half, and the knife shines in the sun. Go up to eat roe deer and go down to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, the loyalist army arrived and waved the knife forward. " For example, Liaodong is dead. What will happen if you behead him? "The last sentence, Wang Bo described his free life as a queen, and the next sentence shows his determination to fight for life with the officers and men instead of dying in Liaodong in vain.

Because people were generally dissatisfied with Yang Di's behavior at that time, this poem spread quickly, and people United when singing this song, which finally opened the wave of peasant uprising at the end of Sui Dynasty and led to the demise of Sui Dynasty. In fact, Wang Bo's slogan is very similar to that put forward by Bobby Chen and Guangwu, that is, "A strong man will not die, but he will be famous when he dies." They all persuade people to resist oppression and live for themselves, instead of passively accepting oppression and dying.
