Tang Dynasty Reports - Toufu Setsugaki

Japanese: 唐風説書 - とうふうせつがき
Tang Dynasty Reports - Toufu Setsugaki
Information from overseas brought by Qing merchant ships that arrived in Japan every year during the isolationist period. Compiled as "Kayi Henkei" and "Sakikou Shangsetsu" by the shogunate's Confucian scholars Hayashi Shunsai and Ogaka, father and son. Contains articles from 1644 on the Ming-Qing Revolution to 1724. For each Chinese ship that arrived in Nagasaki, the Nagasaki magistrate interviewed, translated, and coordinated it with the Tang tsūji, and then submitted it to the Edo shogunate. Information on the domestic and international situations, especially on the continent, the movements of Catholic countries such as Spain and Portugal, especially their actions toward Japan, and detailed reports on European activities and drifting in the East were required to be submitted, to help ban Christianity and prevent smuggling, and is almost identical in nature to the "Dutch Rusetsusho."

鎖国体制下の日本に年々来航した清の商船によってもたらされた海外情報。幕府の儒官林春斎・鳳岡父子が《華夷変態》《崎港商説》として編輯。1644年明清革命の情報記事から1724年におよぶ記事が収録されている。長崎入港唐船の1船ごとに,長崎奉行が唐通事に聴取・訳出・調整のうえ,江戸幕府に上達したものである。大陸を中心とする内外情勢の情報,スペイン,ポルトガル等天主教国の動静,ことに日本への行動について,またヨーロッパ人の東洋における活動や漂流に関する詳報を提出させて,キリスト教の禁制,密貿易防止の資としたもので,〈オランダ風説書〉とほぼその性質由来を同じくする。
