Placed in AD 1474 by a source

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

Frontier wall construction

The Ming History records construction of a frontier wall from Zicheng stockade to Huamachi.

Limits: 明史/卷13, Wikisource revision 2594669; heading 成化十年 at line 194. Both endpoints belong explicitly to the construction clause. The apparatus at line 202 gives competing names for the first endpoint: 憲宗實錄卷一三０ has 紫垣砦, while 國榷卷三七頁二三四三 has 紫金砦. Those works are represented here only through the supplied apparatus, not independently examined.
