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

Shunzhi emperor dies at Yangxin Hall

The Qing shi gao states that the Shunzhi emperor died at Yangxin Hall on the dingsi day of the first lunar month of his eighteenth regnal year.

Limits: 清史稿/卷5, 世祖本紀二; pinned Wikisource revision 2616665, a retrospective dynastic history. The complete line 278 distinguishes illness on renzi and critical illness on bingchen from death on dingsi; adjacent line 280 separately records third-month posthumous honors and burial. No contradictory death location appears in the examined passages. The Sinica tables list concurrent Ming Yongli and Qing Shunzhi regimes; their Ming dates are not Qing regnal dates.
