- 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
- Tianqi 7, third lunar month, wuzi day
- 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 ming022.wikitext heading at line 169, surrounding entries, and the complete quotation line 175 directly; its opening establishes the third month. Calendar headers examined: sinica-1626-12-31.html gives Gregorian 1626-12-31 = Tianqi 6, month 11, day 13; sinica-1627-12-31.html gives Gregorian 1627-12-31 = Tianqi 7, month 11, day 24. These bracket Tianqi 7 month 3 within civil AD 1627, also in Julian reckoning. Original quotation begins at line 175, character 5021.
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.
