太平天国的城市政策颇具特色。它反映了19世纪中叶中国社会贫苦劳动群众,特别是破产农民与手工业者的追求与性格,从中可以窥察出太平天国失败的深层原因,以及太平天国与中国近代化关系的一个方面。一太平天国从1851年1月中旬起义到1853年1月上旬的整整两年中,占领过一些州县城市。其中,在永安州(今蒙山县)的时间最长,计有6个多月。至今没有发现太平天国在这些城市实行过可以称之为城市政策的文献。在后来的调查中,也无有关的口碑资料。 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s urban policy quite distinctive. It reflects the pursuit and character of the poor labor masses in China in the mid-nineteenth century, especially the peasants and handicraftsmen, from which one can see the underlying causes of the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and one aspect of the relations between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the modernization of China. For a full two years from the uprising in mid-January 1851 to early January 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied several cities and counties. Among them, Yongzhou (now Mengshan County) the longest, with more than 6 months. To date, no literature has been found that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom practices what can be called an urban policy in these cities. Later in the survey, there is no word of mouth information.
