It was primarily led by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom supporters who opposed the ruling Qing Dynasty. The uprising was fueled by widespread discontent due to economic hardship, corruption, and social injustice. The rebellion marked the beginning of a series of conflicts that contributed to the larger Taiping Rebellion, which lasted until 1864. The Dazexiang Uprising highlighted the growing unrest among the Chinese populace and set the stage for further revolutionary movements against the Qing government.
