HUNG HSIU-CH'UAN

Additional reading Theodore Hamberg, The Visions of Hung-Siu-Tshuen and the Origin of the Kwang-si Insurrection (1854, reprinted 1935), is the best account of Hung and the early development of the Taipings. Two more recent studies of the Taipings that also deal with Hung are: Ssu-yu Teng, New Light on the History of the Taiping Rebellion (1950, reprinted 1966); and Franz Michael, The Taiping Rebellion (1966).
