Notification ceremony at the Imperial Ancestral Temple
The Song History records notification at the Imperial Ancestral Temple of the destruction of Jin and recovery of its ruler Wanyan Shouxu’s remains.
What this does and does not establish
宋史/卷041, Wikisource revision 2602329. The neighboring passage distinguishes this temple notification from a subsequent order to verify captured objects and prisoners. It does not explicitly say the remains were deposited in the temple.

- 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 song041.wikitext, lines 242–266, including the year opening and month entries. calendar_headers and sinica-1233-12-31.html identify 1233-12-31 as 紹定六年十一月二十九; sinica-1234-12-31.html identifies 1234-12-31 as 端平元年十二月初十. The intervening fourth-month event therefore falls within Julian AD 1234; no exact Julian day is asserted. Original quotation begins at line 250, character 9196.
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.
