Abstract
The Taiping, a native Chinese Christian movement and rebellion in the 1850s and 1860s, had prophecy, polygamy, and wanted to set up God’s kingdom here on the earth. These positions earned them the opposition of China’s missionaries and colonial powers, not to mention that of their own government, the Manchu Imperial dynasty.
