- 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 song022.wikitext heading 宣和五年 at line 122 and the fourth-month paragraph at line 130, distinguishing guisi negotiations, gengzi entry, yisi report and gengxu withdrawal; reread neighboring lines 128–134. Calendar headers and December rows in sinica-1122-12-31.html and sinica-1123-12-31.html identify Julian 1122-12-31 as Xuanhe 4 month 12 day 1 and Julian 1123-12-31 as Xuanhe 5 month 12 day 12. Xuanhe 5 month 4 falls within Julian 1123. Original quotation begins at line 130, character 4300.
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.
