Garrison mutiny at Guizhou
The Zizhi tongjian describes Xu Ji and others mutinying and killing Wang Zhongfu at the Guizhou garrison in the seventh month.
What this does and does not establish
Wikisource raw revision 1761435. Physical location follows the explicit account of troops stationed at Guizhou in the same paragraph, independently corroborated by line 57's description of those who rose with Pang Xun at Guizhou. The retrospective opening introduced by 初 concerns the earlier deployment, not the explicitly dated seventh-month mutiny.

- 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
- Xiantong 9, seventh 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
Year heading: zztj251.wikitext line 13; seventh month and subsequent eighth month: line 17. Examined zztj250.wikitext through its ending and zztj251.wikitext from its opening. calendar_headers and calendar lines 31–32 give Julian 867-12-31 = Xiantong 8, month 12, day 2 in sinica-867-12-31.html, and Julian 868-12-31 = Xiantong 9, month 12, day 14 in sinica-868-12-31.html. Xiantong 9 month 7 lies entirely between these boundaries, within Julian AD 868. Original quotation begins at line 17, character 611.
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.
