	'''November 9''':<ref name="Tianbao record" />		'''November 9:'''<ref name="Tianbao record" /><ref group="note" name="note8">"[[Beacon Fire (Part 3)]]" correctly dates this event to Tianbao Year 14, Month 11, Day 9 of the Chinese calendar, the same date recorded in ''{{wiki\|Zizhi Tongjian\|A Comprehensive Reflection on Governance}}''. This date is reiterated in the special issue "[[Record of Major Events in Tianbao Year 14]]", which initially suggested that all dates in that timeline were in the Chinese calendar besides the year, including the assassination of [[Gao Miao]], [[Li Qincou]], and [[He Qiannian]] on Month 12, Day 22 (January 28). However, in the [[Golden Turtles (Part 6)\|chapter]] where this operation is depicted, [[Yan Gaoqing]] mentions that it is the winter solstice, meaning that the author erroneously intended the date to be December 22 in the Gregorian calendar. Thus, all dates given in "Record of Major Events in Tianbao Year 14" are actually mistakenly presented as Gregorian by the author.</ref>

			:*The date given here is incoherent. It is unclear if the month and day given are in the Gregorian calendar or Chinese calendar as the author has a bad habit of mixing Chinese calendar dates with Gregorian years. However, neither July 17, 756 nor Month 7, Day 17 of Tianbao Year 15 (the year mostly falling in 756) were the day of Jiawu (甲午).
