太平天国后期浙江地区的民众反抗事件

People’s Revolts in Zhejiang Area in the Late Period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

太平天国据守江南后,其占领区各阶层民众的政治流向主要表现为加入、接受和与之对抗三种类型。包立身事件、沈掌大事件和“盖天王”事件是太平天国后期占领浙江后发生的三起平民领导的民众反抗太平军事件,它们与一般的团练不同,三位领导者均是平民出身,起事之因大都反映了民众求生求安的朴素初衷,即反抗基本是与民生相关的经济问题。这说明后期太平天国的基层社会治理出现了严重问题。

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was entrenched in Jiangnan(regions to the south of the Yangtze River),the political stances of various social strata in the occupied area could mainly be classified into three types:joining the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime,accepting it,and opposing it.Bao Lishen Incident(包立身事件),Shen Zhangda Incident(沈掌大事件)and“Gai Tianwang”Incident(“盖天王”事件)are three revolt incidents led by civilians in Zhejiang occupied area in the late period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.The three leaders of these revolt incidents are all civilians,and the causes of the incidents mostly reflect the simple original intention of the populace to survive and seek peace,namely the causes of revolt are basically related to people’s livelihood,which render them different from Tuanlian.This illustrates that there emerged serious problems in the grass-roots social governance of the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
