Why does the Communist Party give such a high evaluation to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
Is it because there is a great similarity?
Is it also adding foreign actions and practical learning genes to the Confucian thought lineage?
The Chinese Communist Party's extremely high evaluation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not simply because of "similarity," nor because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom successfully "inherited" the Confucian lineage.
