板舞図

二月　麦穂祭　国中同日に麦神を祭る。この日、婦女は針仕事をせず、男は田野の仕事をしない《割書：麦穀四祭皆同じ》

二月十二日　花朝　前二日に各家はみな井戸を浚え、女は井水を汲み取って額を洗う。病気を免れることができると言う。

三月三日　上巳　家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飲む。また節句として互いに往来する。この月中の同日にまた麦神を祭り、これを大祭と言う。

五月五日　競渡　竜舟三艘《割書：泊一、那覇一、久米一》一日から五日まで。黍、菖蒲、酒は中国と同じく、また節句である。この月、稲穂祭として吉日を選んで同日に稲神を祭る。この祭りを行わないうちは、稲が実って収穫されても敢えて家に入れない。明夏、冊使子陽
