Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

The Song shi basic annals record that on a wuxu day in the ninth lunar month of Yuanfeng 5 (AD 1082) Yongle (永樂) fell, and the Supervising Secretary Xu Xi (徐禧), the palace eunuch Li Shunju (李舜舉) and the Shaanxi fiscal assistant commissioner Li Ji (李稷) died there.
Limits: 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' day may be the day the news was entered rather than the day of the fall; other chapters were not inspected. An earlier entry of the same month (given as context) records a Xia attack on Yongle by a force reported as 300,000 and the siege of the town; that number is as reported.
