This document will use the unified term, "Boxer Rebellion," but there are different ways of referring to it such as Giwadan Jiken (the Boxer Uprising [the Righteous Harmony Society Movement]), Giwadan Jihen (Boxer Incident), and Hokushin Jihen (The North China Incident).
なお、本稿では「義和団の乱」で統一するが、義和団事件・義和団事変・北清事変（ほくしんじへん）との呼び方もある。
