- 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 崇禎二年 heading at ming023.wikitext line 44 and the full quotation line 58 with neighboring passages. calendar_headers gives sinica-1628-12-31.html: Gregorian 1628-12-31 = 崇禎元年12月7日; sinica-1629-12-31.html: Gregorian 1629-12-31 = 崇禎2年11月17日. These bracket the recorded sixth-month event within civil AD 1629; it also falls in Julian 1629. Original quotation begins at line 58, character 1467.
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.
