Instead, they referred to the tumultuous civil war as a period of chaos (<span lang="zh">亂</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">luàn</span></i>), rebellion (<span lang="zh">逆</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">nì</span></i>) or military ascendancy (<span lang="zh">軍興</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">jūnxìng</span></i>).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMeyer-Fong201311–12_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMeyer-Fong201311–12-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> They often referred to it as the Hong-Yang Rebellion (<span lang="zh">洪楊之亂</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">Hóngyáng zhī luàn</span></i>), referring to the two most prominent leaders. It was also dismissively referred to as the Red Sheep Rebellion (<span lang="zh">紅羊之亂</span>; <i><span lang="zh-Latn">Hóngyáng zhī luàn</span></i>) because the two names sound similar in Chinese.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In modern China, the war is often referred to as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, due to the fact that the Taiping espoused a doctrine which was both nationalist and communist, and the Taiping represented a popular ideology which was based on either Han nationalism or protocommunist values. The scholar <a href="/wiki/Jian_Youwen" title="Jian Youwen">Jian Youwen</a> is among those who refer to the rebellion as the "Taiping Revolutionary Movement" on the grounds that it worked towards a complete change in the political and social system, rather than working towards the replacement of one dynasty with another.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJian19734–7_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJian19734–7-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many Western historians refer to the conflict in general as the "Taiping Rebellion".

In the beginning of the rebellion, the large numbers of women serving in the Taiping army also distinguished it from other 19th-century armies. However, after 1853 there ceased being many women in the Taiping army. <a href="/wiki/Hong_Xuanjiao" title="Hong Xuanjiao">Hong Xuanjiao</a>, <a href="/wiki/Su_Sanniang" title="Su Sanniang">Su Sanniang</a> and <a href="/wiki/Qiu_Ersao" title="Qiu Ersao">Qiu Ersao</a> are examples of women who became leaders of the Taiping army's female soldiers. </p><p>Combat was always bloody and extremely brutal, with little artillery but huge forces equipped with small arms. Both armies would attempt to push each other off of the battlefield, and though casualties were high, few battles were decisively won. The Taiping army's main strategy of conquest was to take major cities, consolidate their hold on the cities, then march out into the surrounding countryside to recruit local farmers and battle government forces. </p><p>Estimates of the overall size of the Taiping army are around 2 million soldiers. The army's organization was allegedly inspired by that of the Qin dynasty. Each army corps consisted of roughly 13,000 men. These corps were placed into armies of varying sizes. In addition to the main Taiping forces organised along the above lines, there were also thousands of pro-Taiping groups fielding their own forces of irregulars. </p><p>The rebels were relatively well equipped with modern weapons. They were not supported by foreign governments, but they bought modern munitions—including firearms, artillery, and ammunition—from foreign suppliers. The rebels were buying weapons by 1853.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESpence1996chapter_16_76-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESpence1996chapter_16-76"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Munitions—partially sourced from Western manufacturers and military stores—were smuggled into China, mainly by the English and Americans.
