As is known in the Series of the \u27Collection of Materials on the Chinese Ships Cast Ashore in the Edo Era\u27, No 13 of the Collection of Materials published by the Institute of Oriental and Occidental Studies, Kansai University, many Chinese ships were drifted to various locations of Japan in the Edo Era. The Chinese ship described in this paper was cast away to Kumano, Wakayama Prefecture, in the 4th year of Bunsei (1821). It was a merchant ship that belonged to Chongming Prefecture at Chang Jiang Kou. I have already published a paper on the Chinese coastal ships drifted to Wakayama Prefecture, \u27About the Costal Merchant Ships of Qing Dynasty Cast Ahore in Wakayama Prefecture\u27 (\u27The Bulletin of the Institute of Oriental and Occidental Studies, Kansai University\u27 No. 20, 1987), and in the paper I mentioned the detailed written record about the Chongming ship drifted to Kumano in the 4th year of Bunsei\u27, The record was the \u27The Story of the Drifting of the Chinese People\u27 known to be contained in Kuroda Suizan\u27s "Suireiken-nisho". It contains various interesting stories, but what added values to this record was that it was confirmed that Wang Shouzhen, one of the crew, answered the questions quite sincerely. The following two points show it very clearly. That the hometown of Won Shouzhen and others was the location existing in Chongming Prefecture, and that it was confirmed that the name of the military officer in the office of Zongbingguan was real, although the period that he was in office was a little different from the historical fact. This record is short, but it is considered to be the written record of the traider who was running the Shachuan transportation business and was introduced in \u27the Study of the History of the Shanghai Shachuan Transportation Business in Qing Dynasty\u27 published as one of the series of research works of this Institute
