*''Japanese'': 琉球国旧記 ''(Ryuukyuu-koku kyuuki)''
''Ryûkyû-koku kyûki'' is a text describing the topography of [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]], compiled by [[Tei Heitetsu]]<!--鄭秉哲--> and completed in [[1731]]. The text is based on the ''[[Ryukyu-koku yuraiki|Ryûkyû-koku yuraiki]]'', which was completed in [[1713]] with the aim of correcting the errors in that earlier document, and supplementing its content.
The ''Ryûkyû-koku kyûki'' adds nine additional volumes to the eleven volumes of the ''Ryûkyû-koku yuraiki'', for a total of 20 volumes. Unlike the ''Ryûkyû-koku yuraiki'', the later ''Ryûkyû-koku kyûki'' is written in Chinese. [[Gregory Smits]] has suggested that it was common for Ryukyuan official histories to be translated and modified in this way, presenting a more strongly pro-China version of events, in order to be given as gifts to the Chinese Court by [[Ryukyuan students in China]].<ref>[[Gregory Smits]], presentation at "[http://www.hawaii.edu/asiaref/japan/event2013/Index.htm#symposium Interpreting Parades and Processions of Edo Japan]" symposium, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 11 Feb 2013.</ref>
