Voyage of the Three Thousand
Some time during the brief Xin Dynasty, a local noble named Wang Xiang from northern China fled persecution from the newly-crowned Emperor Jujun. Accompanied by approximately three thousand of his subjects, including numerous scribes and monks, he sailed across the Yellow Sea and landed in Tsushima. There he and his retinue met and assimilated into the local culture. This is chronicled in the book the Voyage of the Three Thousand.
