*''Born: [[1663]]/10/28''<ref name=lunar>Date is on the Okinawan lunar calendar.</ref>

Tei Junsoku was a [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] [[Confucianism|Confucian scholar]] and government official, credited with numerous major educational reforms.
Born into the [[Kumemura]] scholar-bureaucrat class, he spent four years in China as a youth, studying Confucianism, among other subjects.
He journeyed to China in [[1689]] as an official translator, and after his return presented copies of the [[Seventeen Histories]] (''shíqī shih''<!--１７史-->) to the Confucian temple. He traveled to China again in [[1707]], as the vice-envoy on a [[tribute]] [[Ryukyuan embassy|mission]]. After his return, he had copies of the ''[[Six Courses in Morals]]'' (六諭衍義) printed, and presented copies to [[Satsuma han]], who in turn presented them to [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Yoshimune]]. The [[Tokugawa shogunate|shogunate]] then distributed copies to ''[[terakoya]]'' to use as textbooks.
In [[1718]], Junsoku established the [[Meirindo|Meirindô]] as a school for the children of Kumemura's scholar-bureaucrat class; it would later become the kingdom's first public school.
Junsoku had [[literati]] contacts in China, and was active in composing and exchanging poetry with them. At the peak of his career, he held the rank of ''[[shikin daifu]]'' (紫金大夫) and was a member of the [[Sanshikan]]. He later served as ''[[jito (Ryukyu)|jitô]]'' of [[Nago]] ''[[magiri]]'', and at some point in his career was ''[[Kumemura soyaku|Kumemura sôyaku]]'' (head of the administration of Kumemura).
