¥ China's population grew rapidly between 1685 and 1853, but agricultural production was unable to keep up; this led to growing pressure on the land, smaller farms for China's huge peasant population, and, in all too many cases, unemployment, impoverishment, misery, and starvation. ¥ China's centralized bureaucratic state did not enlarge itself to keep pace with the growing population and lost influence at the local level to provincial officials and local gentry, who tended to be more corrupt and harsh. ¥ Peasants frequently embraced rebellion, finding leadership in charismatic figures who proclaimed a millenarian religious message. ¥ Peasants also increasingly articulated their opposition to the Qing dynasty on account of its foreign Manchurian origins. ¥ The Taiping Uprising between 1850 and 1864 found its inspiration in a unique form of Christianity.
