- 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 yuan017.wikitext line 63 and yuan018.wikitext lines 11–24. Calendar_headers and the dated tables in sinica-1293-12-31.html and sinica-1294-12-31.html identify 1293-12-31 as 至元30年12月3日 and 1294-12-31 as 至元31年12月14日. The intervening 至元31 first month therefore falls within Julian AD 1294; no exact Western day is asserted. Original quotation begins at line 63, character 12059.
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.
