摘要

In order to oppose the aggression of imperialism and resist the corrupt rulers of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people fought in succession and launched a resolute struggle. In 1860, the peasant uprising known as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out. They established their own government and adopted a series of revolutionary measures. Due to limited conditions, they were not able to put forward systematic literary theories. However, a group of uprising leaders, led by Hong Rengan, issued several commands related to cultural and educational policies, tailored to the needs of the struggle. These commands articulated their views on literary issues and proposed the requirement that literature should serve political ends.
