Song court notice of Li Zhizhong's death and Li Gongyun's self-proclaimed rule in Jiaozhou
The Song shi basic annals enter under the second lunar month of Dazhong Xiangfu 3 (AD 1010) a notice that Li Zhizhong (黎至忠) of Jiaozhou (交州) had died and that the senior officer Li Gongyun (李公蘊) had proclaimed himself acting governor (liuhou, 留後).
What this does and does not establish
The Song shi is a Yuan-compiled (1343-45) official history drawing on Song court records; the English is an AI working translation. The entry date may reflect when the news reached the Song court rather than when the events happened. 大校 is rendered loosely as 'senior officer'. Other Song shi chapters (such as its account of Jiaozhou), not inspected here, may describe the succession differently.

- 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
- 大中祥符 3 (大中祥符三年 as numbered by the annals), lunar month 2
- How we use it
- Year assigned from the lunar month under which the annals enter the item; the sexagenary day was not converted to a Julian day.
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.
