What is the difference between Chen Guang Uprising and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
Compared with previous peasant uprisings (including Chen Guang Uprising), the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement has the following differences:

First, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was anti-feudal. In the past, peasant uprisings (including those in Chen Sheng and Guangwu) were only anti-oppression, not anti-feudalism. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the feudal society in China had come to an end, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom promulgated the Land System of China. Influenced by western capitalist ideas, the leaders put forward some anti-feudal political programs, which are of anti-feudal nature. The feudal society in the late Qin Dynasty was just formed and will continue to develop and prosper. Chen Sheng's Guangwu Uprising was only anti-oppression, not anti-feudalism, because they couldn't come up with new ideas and new political models.

Second, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has the nature of anti-aggression. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, China was invaded by foreign powers. In order to make China independent, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to undertake the historical task of anti-aggression. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is an important part of the international "Asian Revolutionary Storm". These are the new contents of the times endowed by modern society. This was not the case in the previous peasant uprisings.

Third, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is capitalist, but the previous peasant uprisings (including the Chen Guang Uprising) did not have these properties. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom promulgated the "New Chapter on Senior Affairs" and put forward a programmatic document for developing capitalism.

Fourth, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement has the color of religious war. During the Taiping Rebellion, the worship of God originated from Christianity called on the congregation to attract people. During the Taiping Rebellion, the worship of gods clashed with Confucianism and Taoism. Worship of God should eliminate Confucianism and Taoism, and Confucianism and Taoism should eliminate worship of God. In the past, peasant uprisings (including Guangwu Uprising and Chen Sheng Uprising) used religion to appeal to the people, but there was no fierce conflict between religions.

Fifth, the enemies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, while the enemies of previous peasant uprisings (including the Chen Guang uprising) are only the domestic ruling class.

Sixth, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has a certain revolutionary program and political program. For example, the celestial system, the new chapter of senior minister, and the independent foreign policy and the policy theory of opening to the outside world.
