Why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom change the names of major provinces and even people's names?

This is because Hong Xiuquan, the emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the five protectors under his seat are taboo among the names of the five kings, so the names of people in the north and south of the great river were changed just to avoid the names of six.

First of all, let me talk about Hong Xiuquan. Hong Xiuquan is the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In order to avoid his name, he even asked his cousin to change his name. His cousin used to be surnamed Wang, but in order to avoid the word Wang, he forced his cousin to change his surname to Wang. As a result, there is no one surnamed Wang in the country.

At the beginning of the uprising, Hong Xiuquan claimed that everyone was equal and everyone was a family. As a result, after he became emperor, he began to hit his face. He and the five kings of the east, west, north, south and north wings changed the names of many people and provinces to avoid names.

Shandong and Yunnan provinces, as well as Shanxi Province, bear the brunt. Because the name of the Southern King is Feng Yunshan, in order to avoid clouds and mountains. Poor Shandong Province has become Shandong Province, Shanxi Province has become Shanxi Province, and Yunnan Province has become Yunnan Province.

In order to avoid the word "expensive", Xiao Chaogui and Guizhou provinces in western Wang Zhao were forced to change to Guizhou province. However, the abbreviation of Guangxi used to be Guangxi, and Guangxi was the birthplace of the uprising, so Guangxi became the Guifu.

This is better, and there are names full of local flavor. Jiangxi, Xinjiang and Zhejiang have all become ingredients for cooking ginger. Jiangxi is Jiangxi, Xinjiang is new ginger, and Zhejiang is Zhejiang ginger. Is this a pot of stew?

I have to say that Hong Xiuquan's attitude changed too much before and after the uprising. What once said that everyone is equal has become an insurmountable gap in status and rank. They all forgot their original intention and were carried away by the current victory and interests.
