This is an illustration attached to the ninth chapter of the original "Revolutionary History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", entitled "Tatar cavalry defeated by Hukou". It is a picture of 1860 in which the so-called Taiping Army defeated the Qing army in Hukou, Jiangxi Province. It is described in Chapter 9, because it is said that there are many Taiping Army. The most striking feature of Taiping Army's clothes and flags is that they are almost completely composed of red and yellow. As we all know, although the flag of Taiping Army is divided into five colors, the utilization rate of yellow flag is actually much higher than other colors.

At the same time, people also have reason to doubt the authenticity of the color picture of "Tatar Cavalry Defeated at Hukou". Li Chun said in "An Introduction to the Military History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" that "Miao Lao's record of this battle is of course fictional, and the illustrations are naturally worthless ... Miao Lao's record of this matter can be said to be extremely absurd. Attached are two textual researches for your reference:
