- Japanese/Chinese: 程 泰祚 (Tei Taiso / Chéng Tàizuò)
Tei Taiso, or Chéng Tàizuò, was a Ryukyuan scholar-aristocrat who traveled to China at least twice as a member of official embassies. He is perhaps best known as the father of reformer Tei Junsoku.
Though not descended by blood from the 36 Min families through whom Kumemura elites claimed Chinese ancestry, Taiso was adopted as heir into the Tei family.[1]
Tei Teiso traveled to China in 1663 as a member of a group escorting the first Qing Dynasty investiture mission home to China. He then stayed there for two years.
Teiso returned to China in the early 1670s as a member of a regular tribute mission, but died in Suzhou in 1675.
