現代語訳

日通書と記し、権宜的に国中で行使して（天朝の正式な暦が届くのを）待つ。天朝が頒賜する官暦と共に遵守することを得て、一王の正朔であり、これは千万億年の尊王帰化の義である。

礼儀

【冬至・元旦】国王は皮弁を着け珪を執り、先ず歳徳を拝す《割書：歳徳の所在する方向に向かって拝す》。乃ち北向して遙かに皇上万万歳を賀し、三跪九叩の礼を畢えて、始めて殿に登り百官の賀礼を受ける。明制の如く班に就いて一揖・跪・三拝・興・一揖・跪・また三拝・興・また一揖の礼を畢え、皆楽を用いる。明の夏子陽の使録に云く「元旦の行礼後、各官は常服に易え、王もまた寛博な錦衣を衣て五色錦帽を戴き、二層の閣に坐す。衆官は階下に跪いて太平曲を唱え、卑者は按拍して和歌し、尊者は觴を捧げて寿を為す。王もまた等級に従ってこれに酒肴を賜う」。毎月十五日には久米大夫以下が王に朝し、茶酒を賜う。本国の諸臣には則ち茶のみを賜う。

【上元】国王は殿に登り賀礼を受けること元旦と同じ。

【皇上万寿・聖誕】王は陪臣を率いて北向し、元旦の礼の如く祝す。

【国王誕日】殿に登り賀礼を受けること上元の如し。各官の升遷は俱にこの日において功を計り爵を定む。

【弁岳行香】国王の登位・受封には皆親しく祭る。毎年正月・五月・九月

英語訳

Written as "Nittūsho" (Daily Calendar), it is used provisionally throughout the country while awaiting (the arrival of the official calendar from the Celestial Dynasty). Together with the official calendar bestowed by the Celestial Dynasty, they obtain compliance, representing the orthodox calendar of one king—this is the meaning of honoring the king and sinicization for thousands and millions of years.

Rituals and Ceremonies

【Winter Solstice and New Year's Day】The king wears a leather cap and holds a jade tablet, first worshipping the yearly fortune deity 《Marginal note: Bowing toward the direction where the yearly fortune deity resides》. Then, facing north, he remotely offers congratulations for "Ten thousand, ten thousand years to His Imperial Majesty," completing the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows before ascending to the hall to receive congratulatory ceremonies from all officials. Following Ming protocol, they take their positions in ranks: one bow, kneel, three prostrations, rise, one bow, kneel, three more prostrations, rise, and one more bow to complete the ceremony, all accompanied by music. Ming envoy Xia Ziyang's mission record states: "After the New Year's ceremony, each official changes to regular dress, and the king also wears loose, broad brocade robes and a five-colored brocade hat, sitting in a two-story pavilion. The assembled officials kneel below the steps singing songs of peace; those of lower rank keep rhythm and sing in harmony, while those of higher rank offer wine cups for longevity toasts. The king also bestows wine and delicacies according to their ranks." On the fifteenth day of each month, officials from Kumemura of the rank of Tayu and below pay court to the king and are granted tea and wine. Ministers of the native country are granted only tea.

【Lantern Festival】The king ascends the hall to receive congratulatory ceremonies the same as on New Year's Day.

【Imperial Longevity and Birthday】The king leads his courtiers facing north to offer congratulations following the same ritual as New Year's Day.

【King's Birthday】He ascends the hall to receive congratulatory ceremonies as on the Lantern Festival. All officials' promotions are decided on this day by calculating merit and determining rank.

【Incense Offering at Ben-dake】For the king's enthronement and investiture, he personally conducts sacrificial rituals. Every year in the first, fifth, and ninth months
