*''Japanese'': 寧波の乱 ''(Ninpou no ran)''

The Ningbo Incident was a clash between forces of the [[Ouchi clan|Ôuchi]] and [[Hosokawa clan]]s, in the Chinese port of [[Ningbo]] in [[1523]], over dominance of maritime trade with China.

Ships from both clans arrived in the port, seeking to unload goods and engage in trade. The Hosokawa received some sort of preferential treatment from the Chinese authorities, and in response, the Ôuchi men pillaged the neighboring countryside.<ref>Sansom, George.

The incident marked a major turning point in Sino-Japanese relations. While China did not ban its people from going to Japan, and Japanese from coming to China, until [[1557]], the Ming Court did shut down its ''[[shibo si]]'' port offices in Ningbo and [[Fuzhou]],<ref>Schottenhammer, Angela.

Since those receiving these demands and claiming to represent the shogunate were in fact agents of the Ôuchi clan, and not true shogunate representatives, nothing came of the Ming Court's efforts.<ref>Hashimoto Yû.
