From Taiping official documents, we find that the complexity of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom dominant thought——not only embodies the emerging democratic ideas, but also have reservations on the feudal system. Documents in the most unique is the integration of the Taiping religion. Religion put up a gorgeous coat for Taiping Heavenly Kingdom using official documents.In the religious vision, this paper analysis the whole view of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom official document including the historical and philosophical aspect.
