*''Chinese/Japanese'': [[張]] 学礼 ''( / Chô Gakurei)''
Zhang Xueli was a [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] official who led the first Qing [[Chinese investiture envoys|investiture mission]] to the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Kingdom of Ryûkyû]] in [[1663]]. In conjunction with that mission, he also compiled a record known as ''[[Shi Ryukyu ki|Shi Ryûkyû ki]]''.
Zhang was originally from Liaoyang. He was appointed to head an investiture mission to Ryûkyû in [[1654]], but the mission was ultimately called off on account of the maritime threat of the [[Taiwan]]-based [[Ming loyalists]] [[Zheng Zhilong]] and [[Zheng Chenggong]].
Zhang and his embassy traveled to Ryûkyû successfully in 1663. They arrived unannounced, creating some difficulties for the Ryukyuan court; these difficulties were compounded by the fact that [[Shuri castle]] burned down in [[1660]] and was still in the process of being rebuilt. Ultimately, however, everything went smoothly enough, and the pattern of Chinese-Ryûkyû investiture relations was restored.
While in Ryûkyû, Zhang was asked to have members of his mission train Ryukyuan musicians in Qing music. This is generally said to mark the first introduction of Qing music into the Ryukyuan court.
