- 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
- Yongjia 1, ninth lunar month, wushen
- 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 zztj086.wikitext heading 117 and lines 147–157. Heading 117 identifies Yongjia 1 as dingmao, AD 307. Examined rows 31–32 and month/day cells in sinica-307-01-08.html and sinica-307-12-27.html: 307-01-08 is Guangxi 1, bingyin, month 11 day 18; 307-12-27 is Yongjia 1, dingmao, month 11 day 17. Yongjia 1 month 9 therefore lies safely in civil AD 307. Original quotation begins at line 155, character 8382.
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.
