- 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
- Wansui Tongtian 1, summer, fifth month, renzi
- 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 zztj205.wikitext, lines 182–210, checking the third-month era change and the fifth-month passage against the following seventh, eighth and ninth months. In sinica-695-12-31.html, lines 31–65, Julian 695-12-31 is 唐武后天冊萬歲2年, bing-shen, month 1 day 20; in sinica-696-12-31.html, lines 31–65, Julian 696-12-31 is 唐武后萬歲通天2年, ding-you, month 2 day 2. The intervening summer fifth month is therefore in Julian 696. The converter calls the dynasty Tang/Wuhou; the actual dynasty was Wu Zhou. Wansui Tongtian began in the preceding third month, and the era-year boundary preceded January 1.
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.
