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

Bi approaches the Wuyuan frontier

The Zizhi tongjian reports that Bi approached the Wuyuan frontier barrier after the leaders of eight Xiongnu divisions agreed to establish him as Huhanye Chanyu.

Limits: Pinned Wikisource revision 2356198. Row 35 places the approach at Wuyuan; 日逐王 is Bi’s title. The following promise to defend against northern enemies expresses an intention. Row 27 supplies earlier background under 初; row 39 separately reports Bi’s assumption of the southern chanyu title in the tenth month.
