The Silla restoration movement refers to a series of uprisings in Yeongnam province of Korea during the middle Goryeo dynasty in the 12th century. These were part of a pattern of revolts aimed at restoring Silla, one of the old Three Kingdoms of Korea, which had been destroyed by Goryeo. Silla restoration revolts include those led by Yi Ui-min in 1186 and by Kim Sa-mi in 1193 as well as later revolts in 1202.[1]
The Revival Movement of Yi Ui-min and Kim Sa-mi
[edit]Even after nearly three centuries of Goryeo rule, loyalty to the old Silla kingdom and Silla traditions remained latent in the Kyŏngju area.[2] Yi Ui-min lanuched his rebellion in 1186 with the intent to overthrow Goryeo's rule and restore Silla, but was defeated. His son and associated Kim Sa-Mi, reiterating Yi Ŭi-min's ploys, lanuched a rebellion in 1193 and his rebels claimed: "The Koryŏ mandate is completely exhausted. Silla must be restored."[3] Kim Sa-Mi's rebellion was defeated in 1194 at the Battle of Milsong, where more than 7,000 rebels were killed.[4]
1202 Sillan Revival Movement
[edit]In 1202, soldiers, monks, and peasants at Kyŏngju, Ch'ŏngdo, Ulchin, and Ulsan also revolted with the battle cry of reviving old Silla, engaging in fierce battles with government forces for some two years.[5]
