The Chinese government was corrupt and denied government positions to those who couldn't bribe state examiners. Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Rebellion, was one of these people that were denied government jobs. He was influenced by Christian missionaries because of the privileges they received from the Treaty of Nanjing. Taiping means "great peace" and Hong wanted to make China so that everyone would share it's wealth and no one would live and suffer in poverty.
