現代語訳

天妃は莆田の林氏である。福建中の林姓の者は多くこの称を用いる。梁上には「霊応普済神祠」の額があり、これは万暦中の冊使夏子陽・王士禎が立てたものである。

使臣は館に到着して二日目に、まず孔廟に詣でて行香し、次に天妃宮に至る。冬至には万歳龍亭を廟の左の明倫堂に設け、使臣は順次に礼を行う。これが終わると孔子像を謁見する。朔望の日はこれを行わない。

天尊廟は雷声普化天尊を祀る。汪録によれば、永楽中に朝貢使が京師から塑像を持ち帰り、祈れば必ず霊験があるので、使臣も二日目にここへ行香に行く。朔望の日は再び行くことはないという。

諭祭先王廟図

英語訳

Tianfei was from the Lin clan of Putian. Those with the surname Lin in Fujian often use this designation. Above the beam is a plaque reading "Shrine of the Spiritually Responsive and Universally Benevolent Deity," which was erected by the investiture envoys Xia Ziyang and Wang Shizhen during the Wanli era.

On the second day after arriving at the guesthouse, the envoys first visit the Confucian temple to offer incense, then proceed to the Tianfei Temple. On the winter solstice, a Ten Thousand Years Dragon Pavilion is set up in the Minglun Hall to the left of the temple, and the envoys perform ceremonies in order. After this is completed, they also pay respects to the image of Confucius. This is not done on the new moon and full moon days.

The Tianzun Temple enshrines Leisheng Puhua Tianzun (Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord). According to Wang's record, during the Yongle era, tribute envoys brought back a sculpted image from the capital, and prayers are always answered, so on the second day the envoys also go there to offer incense. They do not visit again on new moon and full moon days.
