- Read through an AI working translation.
- Region
- East Asia
- Theme
- Politics and institutions
- 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
- Yongyuan 1, sixth lunar month
- 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 the full heading at zztj047.wikitext:121 and the dated campaign passage at line 129. Read lines 31–32 of sinica-89-02-15.html and sinica-89-12-20.html: Julian AD 89 February 15 corresponds to Yongyuan 1, month 1, day 17; December 20 corresponds to month 10, day 30. Month 6 lies wholly between these endpoints, assigning the event to AD 89. Original quotation begins at line 129, character 7120.
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.
