The Study On The Urban Administration At The Initial Stage Of The Taiping Heavenly Kongdom In Its Capital Naning

A city is the center and emphasis of the ruler's domination.The urban administration of the ruler in the capital shows the ruler's will and reflects his deeply thoughts.Different from traditional society, the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom founded its state on the God's religion,which led to many special systems.Whether the urban administraton of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom in Nanjing as the political and military center was right or not showed the decision-makers'abilities of governing state and decided its life and dead.However,the academic circles have not deeply studied on it for a long time,That I do research on it in the perspective of urban administration contributes us to understanding the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom deeply and all-roundly.This is exactly value that this text is studied. Under the guide of the dialectical materialism,I use the traditional history method in the article. Namely based the verified facts,the documents of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom,its opponments'historical material, private records and diaries, I make analysis,induction and summarization.I conjecture about the unverified material without jumping to a conclusion in order to make my conclusion build on dependent proof and be neutral. As far as the content is concerned,i inquire into the vicissitudes, gains and losses,the consequence of the urban administration of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom in Nanjing and its decision-makers'reaction on these policies.At last,I give an assessment on the urban administration at the initial stage of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom in its capital Nanjing,This article includes the control of population,cultivated policy,economical management,orderly control,the construction of city defense and defence. The Taiping Heavenly Kongdom faced a different situation after it established its capital in Nanjing whose characteristic was different from Guangxi'.The regime of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom was a new one established by peasants .Because its leaders did not received systematic political disciple and had no political experience,the policies of urban administration derived from existed experience in the society and from formed experience in the course of advancing to Nanjing.The latter was related to its social ideal.Kejia people's habits and practices with women's pole in the army had an effect on the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom. The government of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom enforced women's policy which was the more,the better in the course of advancing to Nanjing and in Nanjing.As a result, the sexal proporation of population in Nanjing was out of banance in the publicly-owned system and in the situation of war. In order to control people effectively,the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom transformed the former social structure,abolished the families as fundmental units controlling people,organized the people and soldiers in the form of the army and enlarged the policy separating women from men into Nanjing city,which was resisted by people and soldiers in the formal or informal way. As a result,the government had more difficuity in controlling people and was forced to change and abolish the unrational policy.At the same time,more women not only couldn't play the role in the life as the leaders had anticipated ,but also brought about heavy burden on the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom.The proporation of population in Nanjing was rational after the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom adjusted policy again.the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom payed attention to the control of people's idea,which couldn't interest the intellectual,but could inspire the general people.Regulating policies accounted for military pinnal of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom .Its special economic management was linked to its economic policy.The policy of state-owned handicraft proved some mistake.And the policy concerning business went through five stages.The process demonstrated paradoxical mind and practical spirit of the leaders of Taiping Heavenly Kongdom.But its special business management was positive.Its orderly policy was systematic,tight and effective and was worth appreciating.Strengthening city defenses laid the foundation on military defenses.That the decision-makers of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom constantly adjusted their policies according to the practical needs was another reason why it found itself in an advantageous position when it was in confrontation with the Qing dynasty troops except for negecting the development of naval army.The urban administration of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom in Nanjing was mainly from the need for defense,moreover,the material of its policies was made up of much experience.It was impossible to avoid making mistake to the decision-makers of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom.Luckily,that they could adjusted their policies in time according to the practical needs stabilized the order in Nanjing as strategic base of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom and based military victory on the former stage of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom.Therefore,in general,I appreciate urban administration of the Taiping Heavenly Kongdom in early days in capital Nanjing.
