- 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
- Zhenyuan 10, first lunar month; day unspecified
- 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 zztj234.wikitext, heading line 113: '德宗神武聖文皇帝九貞元十年（甲戌，公元七九四年）'; first month at line 115 and arrival at line 117. Calendar headers and December rows examined: sinica-793-12-31.html, '西元793年12月31日' = '貞元9年…11月24日'; sinica-794-12-31.html, '西元794年12月31日' = '貞元10年…12月5日'. Zhenyuan 10's first month lies within Julian AD 794. Original quotation begins at line 117, character 8970.
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
