*''Chinese'': [[梁]] 珉 ''(Líang Mín)''
Líang Mín was a [[Ming dynasty]] official who traveled to [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû]] in [[1383]] alongside an official named Lù Qiān to seek the acquisition of some one thousand [[Ryukyuan horses|horses]] for the use of the Ming military.
Their reports back to the Ming court have been cited as one of only a very few documents from the time which explicitly state that Ryûkyû was divided, with three kings vying for supremacy against one another.
