- 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
- Jianwu 1, winter, tenth month, guichou 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 the complete Jianwu 1 heading at zztj040.wikitext:15 and the dated entry at line 71, with surrounding lines 67–73. Read physical lines 31–32 of both sinica-25-02-15.html and sinica-25-12-20.html: the Julian endpoints correspond respectively to Gengshi 2, month 12, day 29, and Jianwu 1, month 11, day 12. Jianwu 1, month 10 falls wholly between these endpoints, so the explicitly dated entry maps securely to civil AD 25 without requiring a precise Julian day conversion. Original quotation begins at line 71, character 4838.
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.
