進貢使の例
琉球談記《寛政八年（1796年）冬謝恩使尚恪《大宜見王子》其僚属に嘗て清国に入る者三人あり。鄭章観字有光、蔡邦錦《字日章。此二人は明の洪永間に賜りし所の三十六姓の末流にして久米村の人なり。薩摩侯邸第に於て其歴る所の覧勝景佳、説話する所を臣赤崎氏なる者、国字を以て其語を書記せしものを云う》》に云う。琉球の進貢船は両艘にして、其第一の船に百二十人、第二の船に七十人許り乗る。接貢船は一艘にして百人許を乗す。
《按ずるに、明朝貢船の定期二年一貢、清朝又此に因りて二年一貢す。清朝尚益を冊封せしは康煕五十八年にて、本朝中御門帝享保四年己亥に当る。伝信録尚益冊封の年に終れば考うる所なし。毎年一貢となりしは近代の事なるべし。事略に云う、一年は全貢と云いて其船二隻、次年は折貢と云いて其船一隻、来る年は冬至を期とし、去る年は端午を期とすと云えり。之に仍りて考うれば、全を進とし折を接とするものは、舌人是を謬れるか、筆者文字を誤れるか》

songs are performed. Children's dances of four or five numbers are performed in sequence with spinning movements before retiring. This constitutes the Fourth Banquet.

The farewell banquet is the Fifth Banquet. The ceremonial protocol is as before. Additionally, one or two performances of the country's traditional stories are added to the entertainment.

The leave-taking banquet is the Sixth Banquet. The ceremonial performances and entertainment are increased as before. When the banquet concludes, the king escorts his guests out of the palace, proceeding to outside the Shureimon Gate where a small seat is set up in the Crown Prince's quarters, and he personally offers three cups of sake in farewell.

The ship-viewing banquet is the Seventh Banquet. The king comes to the Chinese envoys' lodging and holds a banquet. The ceremony follows the previous protocol. He presents a golden fan as a farewell gift. After the banquet ceremonies are completed, the officials select an auspicious day to board the investiture ship and await favorable winds for their return to court.

Examples of Tribute Envoys

According to the Ryukyu Danki (Record of Ryukyu Conversations) - In the winter of Kansei 8 (1796), the gratitude envoy Sho Kaku (Prince Ogimi) had three subordinates who had previously entered Qing China: Tei Shokan (styled Yuko) and Sai Hokin (styled Nissho). These two men were descendants of the Thirty-Six Families granted during the Hongwu and Yongle eras of the Ming Dynasty and were residents of Kumemura. At the Satsuma lord's residence, a retainer named Akasaki recorded in Japanese script their accounts of the scenic places they had visited and the stories they told.

According to this record, Ryukyu's tribute ships consist of two vessels: the first ship carries about 120 people, and the second ship carries about 70 people. The reception tribute ship is a single vessel carrying about 100 people.

[Note: Upon examination, the Ming Dynasty established a tribute ship schedule of tribute once every two years, and the Qing Dynasty also followed this practice of tribute once every two years. The Qing Dynasty's investiture of Sho Eki occurred in Kangxi 58, corresponding to the fourth year of Kyoho (1719) under Emperor Nakamikado in Japan. Since the Denshinroku ends with Sho Eki's investiture year, there is nothing to examine regarding later periods. The change to annual tribute must be a recent development. According to historical records, one year is called "full tribute" with two ships, the following year is called "partial tribute" with one ship; the coming year takes the winter solstice as its deadline, while the departing year takes the Dragon Boat Festival as its deadline. Based on this examination, whether "full" refers to "advance" and "partial" to "reception" may be an error by the interpreters or a mistake in the writer's characters.]
