*''Compiled: [[1701]], [[Sai On]] and [[Sai Taku]]''
*''Japanese'': 中山世譜 ''(chuuzan seifu)''
''Chûzan seifu'' is an official history of Okinawa. There are two versions, one by [[Sai On]] and one by [[Sai Taku]]<!--蔡鐸-->, though most often it is the former that is being referred to. Sai On's version was formally completed in [[1701]], though he continued to add additional sections until [[1712]].
The text consists of five volumes of the official history, with a particular focus on Ryûkyû-China relations, plus an additional volume focusing on relations between the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] and [[Satsuma han]].
[[Gregory Smits]] has suggested that ''Chûzan seifu'' was not a text compiled separately, but was rather a modified version of the [[1650]] history ''[[Chuzan seikan|Chûzan seikan]]'', altered to present a more pro-China version of events. Such altered versions of Ryukyuan histories were commonly given as gifts to the Chinese Court by [[Ryukyuan students in China]].<ref>[[Gregory Smits]], presentation at "[http://www.hawaii.edu/asiaref/japan/event2013/Index.htm#symposium Interpreting Parades and Processions of Edo Japan]" symposium, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 11 Feb 2013.</ref>
