This article is a review of the present nature of the character regulation of "anti-foreign power" on the Donghak Peasant War. To this end, we first carefully examined the contents of the Donghak Sutra's "anti-foreign power" and the attitudes and perceptions of the Donghak Peasant Army toward Japan, China, the West, or Western religion. The Donghak Peasant Army did not oppose trade itself, but opposed commercial activities secretly performed outside the port. However, the Donghak Peasant Army did not show the same hostility or aggressive behavior toward Western Catholic Priests or missionaries as is commonly seen in popular movements in other countries. Even if there have been some attacks, I think it is difficult to interpret this as hostility or hatred toward the "foreign power" or "foreigners" general. In this regard, the Donghak Peasant Army's external perception was very different from the external perception of the West as barbaric by Confucian intellectuals who perceived and rejected Western religion as an evil trick of barbarians.
