Jinjutsuminran - Jinjutsuminran

Japanese: 壬戌民乱 - じんじゅつみんらん

A popular uprising at the end of the Yi Dynasty in Korea. It began in February 1862 (the Chinese zodiac sign was Water Dog) in Jinju, Gyeongsang Province, and continued through November of the same year in various parts of southern Korea (Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Chungcheong provinces), mainly involving peasants. It is also called the Jinju People's Uprising. It is considered important as a popular uprising that occurred at the beginning of modern Korea, as it roughly overlaps with the period and area in which Donghak was active in its early stages, and the Daewon-gun government was established the following year. The direct cause of the uprising was the arbitrary and unjust exploitation (heavy taxes) of local governors and officials, and there were also cases where emerging local powers (such as wealthy people) led the rebellions, but many of the popular uprisings (a term used by the government at the time, but which has become a historical term in Korea) were aimed not only at local officials, but also at influential local people (such as landlords and wealthy people), including emerging powers.

Japanese:

朝鮮，李朝末期の民衆反乱。1862年(干支は壬戌)2月の慶尚道晋州の民衆反乱に始まり，同年11月にかけて朝鮮南部(慶尚，全羅，忠清各道)の各地で相次いだ農民を主体とする反乱。晋州民乱ともいう。発生期の東学の活動時期･地域とほぼ重なり，翌年には大院君政権が成立するなど，朝鮮近代の開始期に起きた民衆反乱として重視されている。反乱の直接的原因は地方長官や吏属のかってな不当収奪(重税)にあり，地方の新興勢力(富民など)が反乱を指導した場合もみられるが，多くの民乱(当時の官側の用語であるが，朝鮮では歴史名辞化している)は地方の役人たちに対してだけでなく，新興勢力を含む地方の有力者(地主，富民など)をも襲撃の対象とした。
