Chen Yanxiang
text:
Chen Yanxiang was a merchant of Chinese origin, probably based on the Indonesian island of Java, who visited Joseon Korea and Muromachi Japan between 1394 and 1412. The only source for his life is the Korean Joseon Veritable Records, from which a "particularly colorful career" can be seen. Chen first appears in a Veritable Records entry for 1394, when he was appointed to the Korean Bureau of Astronomy along with a Chinese merchant from the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya. At some point, he left Korea.
