板舞図

二月　麦穂祭　国中が同じ日に麦神を祭る。この日、婦女は針仕事をせず、男は田畑の仕事をしない。（割書：麦穀四祭は皆同じ）

二月十二日　花朝の前二日　各家庭がみな井戸をさらえ、女性が井戸水を汲み取って額を洗う。疾病を免れることができるという。

三月三日　上巳　家庭でよもぎ餅を作って互いに贈り合う。官民皆が海浜で禊をして酒を飲む。また節句として互いに往来する。この月中の同じ日にまた麦神を祭り、これを大祭という。

五月五日　竜舟競漕　三つ（割書：泊一、那覇一、久米一）一日から五日まで競う。黍（ちまき）、菖蒲、酒は中国と同じ。また節句として拝む。この月に稲穂祭があり、吉日を選んで同じ日に稲神を祭る。この祭りを行わないうちは、稲が収穫できても敢えて家に入れない。明夏、冊使が子陽

Millet dumplings, iris, and wine are the same as in China. They also worship for the seasonal festival. In this month there is the Rice Ear Festival, where an auspicious day is selected to worship the rice deity on the same day.
