Hong Gyeong-rae's Rebellion
Hong Gyeong-Rae's Rebellion also known as the Gwanseo Peasant War was an armed rebellion from January 31, 1812—May 29, 1812, led by Hong Gyeong-Rae and the yangban of Pyeongan Province who were unhappy with their treatment by the central government, and an oppressive de facto tax regime based on government-administered high-interest loans and perhaps by rivalries among yangban groups. Impoverished farmers joined them following a year of exceptionally poor harvest, who nevertheless were forced to contribute to a "grain fund," which amounted to an excessive tax. On January 31, 1812 (solar calendar), he led an insurrection against the Joseon Dynasty, which was initially quite successful. At its height, the rebellion controlled most of the area north of the Cheongcheon River, including the town of Jeongju, which was fortified to withstand invasions from Manchuria (part of the Qing Empire). Whenever the rebels took over a district, they opened the government granaries and distribute ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rebellions In Asia
Rebellion, uprising, or insurrection is a refusal of obedience or order. It refers to the open resistance against the orders of an established authority. A rebellion originates from a sentiment of indignation and disapproval of a situation and then manifests itself by the refusal to submit or to obey the authority responsible for this situation. Rebellion can be individual or collective, peaceful (civil disobedience, civil resistance, and nonviolent resistance) or violent (terrorism, sabotage and guerrilla warfare). In political terms, rebellion and revolt are often distinguished by their different aims. While rebellion generally seeks to evade and/or gain concessions from an oppressive power, a revolt seeks to overthrow and destroy that power, as well as its accompanying laws. The goal of rebellion is resistance while a revolt seeks a revolution. As power shifts relative to the external adversary, or power shifts within a mixed coalition, or positions harden or soften on eithe ...

Joseon Dynasty
Joseon (; ; Middle Korean: 됴ᇢ〯션〮 Dyǒw syéon or 됴ᇢ〯션〯 Dyǒw syěon), officially the Great Joseon (; ), was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, lasting just over 500 years. It was founded by Yi Seong-gye in July 1392 and replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897. The kingdom was founded following the aftermath of the overthrow of Goryeo in what is today the city of Kaesong. Early on, Korea was retitled and the capital was relocated to modern-day Seoul. The kingdom's northernmost borders were expanded to the natural boundaries at the rivers of Amrok and Tuman through the subjugation of the Jurchens. During its 500-year duration, Joseon encouraged the entrenchment of Confucian ideals and doctrines in Korean society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the new state's ideology. Buddhism was accordingly discouraged, and occasionally the practitioners faced persecutions. Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the territory of current Korea and saw the ...

The ''Jeonggamnok'' (정감록; 鄭鑑錄) (also known as ''Chŏng Kam nok'') is a compilation of prophetic works which foretold the downfall of the Korean Yi (Joseon) dynasty and the establishment of a new utopian dynasty by a messianic "True Man" with the surname Jeong (Chŏng).

The contents were circulated orally and in handwritten manuscripts since the middle of the Joseon period.
