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

Edict demarcating the boundary with Jiaozhi

The Song shi basic annals record that on a wuzi day in the tenth lunar month of Yuanfeng 7 (AD 1084) an edict ordered the demarcation of the boundary with Jiaozhi (交阯), granting it six counties and two dong (峒).

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 entry does not name the counties or the dong (峒, settlements of non-Han peoples; rendering approximate), nor describe the negotiation; other chapters were not inspected.
