The purpose of this study is to consider the characteristics of early-modern Ryukyu society,Ch inese cultural influence on it,a nd its transformations. The officially certified genealogy “kahu" was a privileged status and was a requisite to receiving government positions. The government only permitted shizoku families to maintain and add records to kahu. Hereditary and primogeniture were fundamental rules to“keimochi" or families that held kahu・However,many kahu examples indicate that the second son succeeded as the head of the family,a nd adoptions, which did not fit the patrilineal norm or successions that were out of the Chinese sequence of generational changes (shao・muorder),w ere accepted. Constant succession of family was more important to shizoku rather than the continuation of the legitimate line that clings to Confucian principles. Sai Bumpu,a K umemura resident who believed his family's roots had primarily been from China,a pproved these exceptional successions and directed the domestic rituals on ancestor worship taking this situation into consideration. In this regard,h is family rituals Shihondo-kαrei differ from Zhu xi's family rituals.}, pages = {51--67}, title = {近世琉球の父系家統継承原理における“異例"の考察}, volume = {90}, year = {2017} }
