3. Whenever the text involves the dynasties, the AD time is included after the emperor's year and the era time.Before B.C. or beyond the former and the latter, both shall be indicated in brackets, and the word A.D. is generally omitted.For the comparison between the time of the emperor's year and the AD, the "Chinese and Foreign History Chronology" edited by Jian Bozan shall prevail. 4. The year names and eras of Xuanzong and Suzong dynasties of the Tang Dynasty mentioned in the text are all written according to actual changes.In order to avoid confusion for readers, here is a special explanation: Emperor Xuanzong Tianbao's year name is divided into two eras: "Nian" and "Zai".From the first year to the second year of Tianbao (742, 743), it was called "Nian"; from the first month of the third year of Tianbao (744), the year was changed to "Zai", so the year was renamed Tianbao Sanzai.Due to the "Anshi Rebellion", Tang Xuanzong left for Shu.Tang Suzong Li Heng ascended the throne in July of the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756) in Lingwu, Gansu.Therefore, the fifteen years of Tianbao, also known as Zhide Yuanzai.

From February of the third year of Zhide (758), the first year of Yuan Qianyuan was changed, and the reign title of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty resumed using "year" as the era.If there are two year names in the same year, the latter is generally used. 5. All the names of the magistrates of the Tang Dynasty contained in the text are based on the Tang system.In the Tang Dynasty, the names of prefects and counties were sometimes called "prefects" and sometimes "inspectors".This is due to changes in the names of local administrative divisions in the Tang Dynasty.For example, in the first year of Tang Gaozu Wude (618), the prefecture of Sui Dynasty was changed to a state, and the chief was called a governor; in the first year of Tianbao (742), the state was changed to a county, and the chief was called a prefect; State, the chief is also known as the governor.
