Wang Anshi dismissed again; Wu Chong and Wang Gui appointed
The Song shi basic annals record that on the bingwu day of the tenth lunar month of Xining 9 (AD 1076) Wang Anshi (王安石) was dismissed and made administrator of Jiangning Prefecture, and Wu Chong (吳充) and Wang Gui (王珪) were both made Joint Managers of Affairs with the Secretariat-Chancellery, Wu Chong also supervising the compilation of the state history and Wang Gui becoming Grand Academician of the Jixian Hall.
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 annals give no reason for the dismissal in this entry. Renderings of the official titles are working translations.

- 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
- 熙寧 9 (熙寧九年 as numbered by the annals), lunar month 10
- 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.
