- Kind of record
- Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.
How it is dated
- Date reference
- Liang 天監元年, 壬午, fourth lunar month, 丙寅
- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read zztj145.wikitext lines 15–59, including month 4 and its dated sequence at line 53. Read converter lines 30–34: Julian 501-12-31 is Southern Qi 中興元年 辛巳 month 12 day 6; Julian 502-12-31 is Liang 天監元年 壬午 month 11 day 17. The southern calendar's succession from Qi to Liang, together with 壬午, places this fourth-month accession in Julian AD 502.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
