What this does and does not establish
Later Northern Song chronicle by Sima Guang; pinned Wikisource revision 2594134. This records the completed arrival as one occurrence, without separately counting the preceding departure or relocation. Later palace repairs are excluded because no completion date is given. No independent contradictory account is supplied.

- 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
- Chuping 1, third lunar month, yisi
- 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 zztj059.wikitext annual heading at line 133 and neighboring lines 144–154, including the departure at line 150 and explicitly dated arrival at line 152. Rows 31–32 of sinica-190-02-15.html give AD 190 February 15 = Zhongping 6, intercalary month 12, day 23; rows 31–32 of sinica-190-12-20.html give AD 190 December 20 = Chuping 1, month 11, day 6. Chuping 1 month 3 falls strictly between those endpoints, placing the arrival within civil AD 190. Original quotation begins at line 152, character 9763.
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.
