Fu Jian accedes at the Taiji Hall
The Zizhi tongjian places Fu Jian's accession as Heavenly King of Great Qin at the Taiji Hall under the sixth lunar month.
What this does and does not establish
Wikisource revision 1151319. The sixth-month marker is at row 137; rows 139–141 describe the preceding overthrow and accession. The hall is explicitly named, but the quoted clause does not name its city.

- 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
- Shengping 1, sixth lunar month; Qin changes its era to Yongxing
- 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 zztj100.wikitext rows 115–167, especially the sixth-month marker at 137, accession and Yongxing change at 141, and seventh-month marker at 149. In sinica-357-01-08.html rows 31–32, AD 357-01-08 is Yonghe 12, Bing-chen, month 12 day 2; in sinica-357-12-27.html rows 31–32, AD 357-12-27 is Shengping 1, Ding-si, month 11 day 30. Both month tables were read. The intervening sixth month maps to AD 357; Qin's new Yongxing designation is a different court's era, not a different civil year. Original quotation begins at line 141, character 8075.
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.
