- 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
- Guangde 1, tenth month, wuyin
- 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
zztj223.wikitext line 15: '代宗睿文孝武皇帝上之下廣德元年（癸卯，公元七六三年）'; explicit tenth month at line 33 governs line 39. Calendar headers and December rows examined: sinica-762-12-31.html gives '762年12月31日' = '寶應元年…12月12日'; sinica-763-12-31.html gives '763年12月31日' = '廣德元年…11月22日'. This tenth month falls in Julian AD 763; line 17 records the earlier seventh-month era change. Original quotation begins at line 39, character 2460.
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.
