Throughout the thousands of peasant uprisings over the past two thousand years, they all put forward very loud slogans at the beginning of the uprising. Although these slogans are very different, they all reflect the characteristics of the era, as well as the strong demands and wishes of the peasants, so they are firmly branded as "Chinese peasants." The following slogans of the top ten peasant uprisings in Chinese history are enough to show the characteristics of Chinese peasant uprisings.
1. Xia Ren: Time to mourn, let you die!
Xia Jie is a famous tyrant in history, extremely cruel and cruel. Therefore, the Xia people put forward the slogan of "time mourning, let me die". The meaning of this is to say, life is not easy, we will die with you! This is undoubtedly the summer version of the slogan of "Be willing to scrape, dare to pull the emperor off the horse!"
2. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising: Is there any kind of Prince Xiangning?
Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising
During the Qin and Han dynasties, politics came out of wealthy families, and power inherited from them. Ordinary people have no right to intervene in politics. People who are princes and generals are all born by nature and have the destiny to be princes and generals. Power is inherited by the family. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang didn’t believe in this evil, so after the uprising in Daze Township, they slogan "How kind is the prince and general Xiangning?" This is the first time that Chinese people have said that they want to be politically equal, and the meaning is extraordinary! Phase power does not depend on family hereditary, what does it depend on? Chen Sheng and the others did not say, but they did it, and immediately won the world! It was they who opened the strong to the king, that is, before the atmosphere of power in the barrel of the gun!
3. Lvlin Chimei Uprising: Liu's resurrection, Li's resurrection.
This uprising was caused by Wang Mang’s unsuccessful reforms. There are four major reformers in Chinese history, Wang Mang is one of them, but his reforms are different from others. Others think that the ancestral law is not enough; and he is different, he wants to restore the ancestral law, his Reform is to restore the past, and let the feudal China move towards the slave China. The powerful and powerful interests violated by the new policy. And it was also not welcomed by the farmers. The insurgents at that time did not have a slogan for the uprising, only a person named Li Tong came up with a slogan: "Liu's resurrection, Li's resurrection." The uprising succeeded.
Fourth, the Yellow Turban Uprising: The sky is dead, and the yellow sky shall stand; when the age is in Jiazi, the world is prosperous.
Yellow Turban Uprising
This is a very religious slogan, and it is also a slogan devised by a god-jumping god. Propaganda methods in the name of religion wooed the people. Although they were said to be godlike and did not have much positive meaning, they had a lot of influence at the time.
5. Peasant Uprising at the End of Sui Dynasty: "Death Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wave"
There was no unified slogan for the peasant uprising in the end of the Sui Dynasty. One of the more famous ones is "The Death Song of Wuxiang Liaodong Wave": Zhi Shi Lang in front of Changbai Mountain, pure red Luo Mian back crotch. The long wind invades the sky and a half, and the round sword shines in the sun. Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down to eat the cattle and sheep. Suddenly, he heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, and he lifted the knife and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, how could he be decapitated? At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered indefinitely, developed civil engineering, patrolled for pleasure, heavy military service, and the people were not living, and finally aroused the peasant uprising. However, the peasant uprising in the end of the Sui Dynasty was somewhat different from the peasant uprisings of other dynasties. It was an outbreak of multiple origins and starting points. According to history books, there were "64 roads of smoke and dust" at that time, that is to say, farmers in 64 places unanimously launched an uprising, indicating that Emperor Sui Yang was indeed unpopular and indeed deserved to die!
Sixth, Wang Xiaobo, Li Shun Uprising: I am sick, rich and poor, now you are equal.
China’s Great Song Dynasty is a powerful economic and cultural dynasty, but a relatively weak military dynasty. The total economy of the Song Dynasty accounted for about 30% of the world at that time, so some Westerners who had been to China at that time said that the life of the soldiers guarding the gate of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty was better than that of the kings of Europe. This is not entirely an exaggeration, but why did the Song Dynasty with such a powerful economy still have peasant uprisings? There is only one reason to answer. At that time, the social development was unbalanced and the social polarization was serious. It may be that some people got rich first. And it's rich and oily, while other people are clanking poor. To use Lao Du's words: "Jumen dog meat smells bad, and there are frozen bones on the road." Therefore, Wang Xiaobo and the others wanted to revolt, and their slogan "I am sick and the rich and the poor are uneven, and now you are equal" is the number one Chinese farmer. This time put forward the point of equal wealth. Compared with all the socialists and communists in the East and the West, they are the earliest socialists and set the precedent for egalitarianism in political theory in the world.
Seven, Zhong Xiangyang uprising: Law is divided into high and low, not good law; I practice the law, we should wait for the high and low, both rich and poor.
The Song Dynasty did not learn a lesson from Wang Xiaobo's uprising, and the society was still in a state of polarization, making the poor poorer and the rich richer. Therefore, when Young Mo put forward this slogan, he not only put forward an average point of view in economics, but also put forward the idea of equality in politics. They should be the first time in Chinese history that they have put forward the idea of economic average and political equality, and have a higher level of peasant uprising!
8. The peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty: Mo Dao Shi Ren had one eye, this thing came out of the world and Mo Dao Shi Ren had one eye, spurring the Yellow River world opposition.
After the Song Dynasty died in Mongolia, the Chinese ruled the Mongols a little bit demented, and even if they wanted to rebel, they couldn’t put forward a level slogan. Therefore, the most famous slogans put forward by the peasant uprisings of the Yuan Dynasty were "Mo Dao Shi people have one eye, this thing will rebel against the world" and "Mo Dao Shi people will provoke the Yellow River world opposition with one eye." These slogans are similar to the Yellow Turban Uprising. , But it is also a simpler than the Yellow Turban uprising, the slogan of jumping the great god, using superstition to resist tyranny.
9. The slogan of the Li Zicheng Uprising Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty: Wait for the noble and the low, and the land will be free of grain.
Chuang Wang Li Zicheng
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant uprising army put forward the slogan "Wait for noble and low, equal land and free grain." Therefore, it won the warm welcome and strong support of the vast number of farmers. "Welcome to King Chuang, King Chuang is here and cannot pay for food" is the best explanation. The reason why Li Zicheng led the uprising was also related to the polarization of social development at that time, so he put forward the slogan of political equality and economic equality.
10. Hong Xiuquan Uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: All average. There is no unevenness everywhere, no one is full of warmth. The world is in the field, and the world is cultivated by the same people.
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom pursues absolute egalitarianism. When Hong Xiuquan put forward these ideas in the name of Heavenly Father, Marx, their sympathizer in Germany, also put forward the idea of communism. He also placed high hopes on Hong Xiuquan's revolution. He believed that Hong Xiuquan's revolution would inevitably affect the export of Chinese tea, and tea was an indispensable product for Europeans at that time. The butterfly effect of Hong Xiuquan's revolution was to throw the sparks of the Chinese revolution onto the gunpowder of the European revolution. But only after more than ten years, Hong Xiuquan’s raging fire in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was extinguished by a Han army organized by the Qing Dynasty, the Hunan Army.
