- 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 song029.wikitext heading 紹興十年 at line 64, the seventh-month paragraph at line 80, and neighboring campaign passages. Calendar headers and rows in sinica-1139-12-31.html identify 1139-12-31 as Shaoxing 9, month 12, day 9; sinica-1140-12-31.html identifies 1140-12-31 as Shaoxing 10, month 11, day 21. The intervening Shaoxing 10 seventh-month event therefore falls in Julian AD 1140. Original quotation begins at line 80, character 6459.
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.
