*''Chinese/Japanese'': 六諭衍義 ''(luyu yanyi / rikuyu engi)''
The ''Six Courses in Morals'' is a Chinese collection of six tracts on moral instruction, compiled in [[1652]] at the orders of the [[Shunzhi Emperor]].
It was brought back to [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû]] by [[Tei Junsoku]] in [[1707]], who provided his own private funds to have it republished; members of the [[1714]] [[Ryukyuan mission to Edo]] then presented copies of the text to [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Yoshimune]] as a formal gift. The Shogun then commissioned [[Ogyu Sorai|Ogyû Sorai]] to write a new preface, and [[Muro Kyuso|Muro Kyûsô]] to rewrite the text into a form that would be easier for Japanese readers to understand. This rewritten version, entitled ''Rikuyu engi taii'' (六諭衍義大意), was then published in [[1722]] and distributed to a number of [[han|domains]], where it was reprinted yet again and circulated even more widely. The text continued to be circulated and read throughout the archipelago until the [[Meiji period]].
