Added Annals of Ryukyu

In 1808 (the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty), Qi Kun, an imperial title-conferring envoy and Fei Xizhang, Qi’s deputy, were sent to Ryukyu. Their book stated, “At the dawn of the 13rd day, we saw Diaoyu Tai. And after four hours sailing, we saw Chiwei Yu. And nine hours later, we passed the trench and held a sacrificial ceremony to the sea.”
