- 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 song022.wikitext heading 宣和四年 at line 98 and the first-month paragraph at line 100, alongside lines 102–108. Read calendar_headers and both December tables: sinica-1121-12-31.html lines 31–65 identify Julian 1121-12-31 as Xuanhe 3, month 11, day 20; sinica-1122-12-31.html lines 31–65 identify Julian 1122-12-31 as Xuanhe 4, month 12, day 1. Xuanhe 4 month 1 therefore falls within Julian 1122. Original quotation begins at line 100, character 3024.
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
