官生入学読書の代請疏

琉球国より帰朝した翰林院検討臣海宝、編修臣徐葆光等が謹んで奏上いたします。奏請の件について、臣等は勅旨を奉じて琉球冊封の礼を畢え、宴席にて王が通事に言葉を述べさせて申しますには、「本国は海外の僻地に位置し、粗野な風習が根付いております。康熙二十五年に勅旨を奉じて官生阮維新・蔡文溥等三人の入学読書を許可していただき、今やっと文教を少し知ることができました。これは皆陛下の賜物でございます。それから三十年来、上奏する機会がございませんでしたが、今幸いにも天が使臣を国に遣わされましたので、前の使臣汪楫が代請した入学読書の旧例に照らして陳明し、遠人向化の意を示したく存じます。もし諭旨でお許しいただき、前例に照らして再び官生を入学読書に派遣できますなら、陛下の文教はますます広まることでしょう」と。

礼部が謹んで題して奏聞いたします。礼科より写し出された、琉球冊封より帰朝した正使翰林院検討海宝、副使翰林院編修徐葆光等の奏上は康熙五十九年七月十五日に部に到着いたしました。臣等が議するところでは、琉球国王冊封使臣翰林院検討海宝、編修徐葆光等が

Memorial Requesting Official Students' Admission to Study

The Hanlin Academy Compiler Minister Hai Bao and Editor Minister Xu Baoguang, who have returned from the Ryukyu Kingdom, respectfully memorialize regarding a petition matter. We ministers, having received imperial orders to complete the investiture ceremonies for Ryukyu, during the banquet had the king speak through an interpreter saying: "Our country is located in a remote place overseas, with crude customs having taken root. In the 25th year of Kangxi, we received imperial permission for three official students—Ruan Weixin, Cai Wenpu, and others—to enter school for study. Now we have finally come to know something of literary education, which is entirely Your Majesty's beneficence. For these thirty years since then, we have had no opportunity to petition above. Now, fortunately, Heaven has sent envoys to our country, so we seek to follow the precedent of former envoy Wang Ji's petition for academic study, to clearly demonstrate the intent of distant peoples seeking civilization. If we might receive your gracious permission and, following former precedent, again send official students to enter school for study, then Your Majesty's literary education would spread even wider."

The Ministry of Rites respectfully submits this memorial for imperial attention. The memorial from Chief Envoy Hanlin Academy Compiler Hai Bao and Vice Envoy Hanlin Academy Editor Xu Baoguang, copied out by the Office of Scrutiny for Rites upon their return from the Ryukyu investiture, arrived at the ministry on the 15th day of the 7th month of the 59th year of Kangxi. Our deliberation concludes that the Ryukyu Kingdom investiture envoys Hanlin Academy Compiler Hai Bao and Editor Xu Baoguang...
