I have noticed the file used to illustrate the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was renamed from File:Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Banner.svg to File:Dragon flag used by Du Wenxiu.svg. You can see the argument used for renaming here (I saved the Imgur links on Wayback Machine in case Imgur deletes the files). Du Wenxiu was the leader of the Panthay Rebellion so I don't think it should be used in an article about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Thoughts? Yakutia2023 ( talk) 18:55, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Note: the specific source that contradicts is [1], and the reference used to attach the dragon banner to Taiping appears to be the blog of a professor in chemistry. Aaron Liu ( talk) 19:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
In one of the Imgur links ( https://imgur.com/a/66HwPWn) there is a flag attributed to the Taiping army. I found the same flag flag on File:Flag of Command of a Taiping Military Inspector (10151850385).jpg. Can this be claimed to be a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flag? 47!Cyberia9 ( talk) 16:15, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Among the hymns Hong learned was “Old Hundred,” which he later used, with a new text, as the state hymn of the Heavenly Kingdom. Its new title was “Tianchao zanmei ge” [Ode praising the Heavenly Kingdom]. This ode was sung in all rituals and rallies, whose major ingredients Hong had also borrowed from Protestant rituals.* Many other hymns were also created specifically for these occasions; a few of their texts are still extant.
