Hong Xuanjiao death

edit

Why does it say she died in 1856? If she survived her brothers deposition and escaped Nanjing then it would have been in 1864, since her brother Hong Xiuquan did not abdicate and die until 1864, which was also when Nanjing fell. Xuanjiao wouldn't need to "escape" Nanjing in 1856, that was when the Tianjing incident occurred and the leading cause of death for several key leaders of the rebellion, but surely not when Xuanjiao would have died or given reason for her to flee Tianjing.

The article does not claim that she died in 1856. It uses the term "fl", floruit, which means that she is last documented to be alive at that year, which is a usefull term to use in articles were the death year is unknown. I can't see that the article claims anywhere that she died in 1856.--Aciram (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
