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

Southern Xiongnu court established near Wuyuan frontier

The Zizhi tongjian reports under the first month of Jianwu 26 that imperial envoys established the Southern Xiongnu court eighty li from Wuyuan’s western frontier barrier.

Limits: Wikisource revision 2356198. The location is relative to Wuyuan’s western frontier barrier; no direction is stated. The following permission to reside in Yunzhong and the winter relocation to Meiji in Xihe are distinct developments, not locations of this establishment. The preceding 初 introduces imperial tomb construction, not a retrospective date for this clause.
