*''Japanese'': 官生 ''(kanshou)''
Over the course of the history of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], a small number of Ryukyuan students from aristocratic and royal families were sent to study at the [[National Academy]] (''Guozijuan''<!--国子監-->) in [[Beijing]].
When the system began, it was only the children of kings and ''[[anji]]'' (high-ranking local/regional nobles), i.e. the community of [[Shuri]], the royal capital, who were able to study in Beijing; however, from the reign of [[Sho Shin|Shô Shin]] (r. [[1477]]-[[1526]]) onwards, children of scholar-aristocrat families from [[Kumemura]] began to be sent as well. For a time, it became standard for three students from Shuri, and three from Kumemura, to be sent at a time.
Over the course of a 476 year period, from [[1392]] until [[1868]], roughly 100 Ryukyuan students studied at the ''Guozijuan''. A considerable number of Ryukyuan students also studied at the [[Ryukyu-kan|Ryûkyû-kan]] in [[Satsuma han|Kagoshima]] as well, between the 17th and 19th centuries.
