Little is known about Huai Ji, though some sources indicate he may have been sent to Ryûkyû as part of schemes by the Yongle Emperor to expand the image of Chinese cultural superiority overseas. He arrived in Ryûkyû at some point in the first quarter of the 15th century, and served the government until around 1450.
