Wang Xuance
Recorded name: 王玄策
Wang Xuance participated in exchanges between Tang China and India in the seventh century.
Original Chinese introduction
王玄策参与了七世纪唐朝与印度的使团往来。
Wang Xuance was a Tang envoy who participated in exchanges between Tang China and India in the seventh century. Scholarly research traces his diplomatic activity and geographical accounts from mission records and fragments in later historical works; many details still require cross-checking among different texts.
Original Chinese context
王玄策是唐朝使节，曾参与七世纪唐朝与印度之间的往来。学术研究从使团记录和后世史籍残篇中追索他的外交活动及地理记述；不少细节仍需通过不同文献相互核对。

Derived from the current score.
Contribution groups assessed so far; coverage is still being expanded.
ASSESSMENT SCOPEWhat this score covers
All included contribution titles and notes are available in English. The complete original text remains available in Chinese; both editions use the same scores and source links.
Uncovered contributions and unresolved harms are not treated as zero. This is not a complete assessment of a lifetime.
2 included contributions have incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.
Original scope note
This research record currently includes 2 outcomes within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.
Original Chinese scope
本轮当前已列2项有限研究账；M与归功份额为可修订判断。未覆盖内容和未核清的负面作用不按零处理，具体缺口见逐项说明。
CALCULATIONHow the score is calculated
Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).
M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.
SCORE DETAILS
2 evaluated contributions
M is the assessed magnitude of an outcome; attribution is the person’s share of credit. Attributed light can be added. The standalone score is only a per-item reference and must not be added across rows.

Record yearSeventh century and later compilations
Original Chinese · record year
七世纪及后世辑存
summaryProvided envoy observations distinct from the works of Pei Ju and Xuanzang, with part of the material preserved through later compilation.
Original Chinese · summary
提供不同于裴矩和玄奘著作的使节观察材料，并经后世编纂保留部分内容。
M rationaleThe original work is lost and the authorial layers are unstable; its value lies in limited fragments and source identification, and is therefore lower than that of a complete geographical work.
Original Chinese · M rationale
原作已佚且作者层次不稳，价值在有限残篇与史料辨识，故低于完整地理著作。
attribution rationaleWang Xuance .30; mission clerks, translators, and information providers .22; prior work in records of the Western Regions and India .14; later compilers and transmitters such as Tongdian .18; unresolved share .16. The shares are research judgments and are not directly supplied by sources.
Original Chinese · attribution rationale
王玄策 .30；使团书记、翻译与信息提供者 .22；既有西域与印度记录前史 .14；《通典》等后世编纂传递者 .18；未解析份额 .16。份额是研究判断，不由来源直接给定。
overlap boundaryCounts research-identifiable original records related to Wang Xuance and the transmission of fragments preserved through Tongdian and similar works; the original text and later preservation are a jointly knowable outcome, and are not credited to Da Tang Xiyu Ji or all knowledge of the Western Regions.
Original Chinese · overlap boundary
计学术研究可辨的王玄策相关原始记录及经《通典》等保存的片段传递；原始文本和后世保存是联合可知终态，不归《大唐西域记》或全部西域知识。
Evidence gapsOnly summaries are available; surviving specific passages have not been checked, and Wang Xuance's personal authorship remains a scholarly attribution rather than a signature on a complete original manuscript.
Original Chinese · evidence gaps
仅有摘要，未核现存具体段落；王玄策个人作者身份仍为学术归属而非完整原稿署名

02Tang missions and political contacts with Central India唐朝对中印度使团与政治联络OUT-SL3674-641-658-TANG-CENTRAL-INDIA-DIPLOMACY
Record year641–658
summaryAs one of the envoys, participated in sustaining political contacts beyond religious travel through repeated official exchanges.
Original Chinese · summary
作为使节之一参与把宗教旅行以外的政治联络维持为多次官方往返。
M rationaleEstimated from the scale of the limited public service of sustained political contacts through Tang–India missions; the number of the individual's specific participations and the contents of agreements remain evidentiary gaps, and the total number of missions is not used to represent his independent outcome.
Original Chinese · M rationale
按唐印使团持续政治联络这一有限公共服务的规模估计；个人具体参与次数与协议内容仍为证据缺口，未用使团总数代表他的独立成果。
attribution rationaleWang Xuance .18; Tang court missions, clerks, and logistics personnel .27; political negotiators in Kanyakubja and along the route .22; prior work in Tang–India diplomacy and transport .13; translators, guides, and local knowledge contributors .12; unresolved share .08. The shares are research judgments and are not directly supplied by sources.
Original Chinese · attribution rationale
王玄策 .18；唐廷使团、书记与后勤人员 .27；曲女城及沿线政治交涉者 .22；唐印外交与交通前史 .13；翻译、向导与地方知识贡献者 .12；未解析份额 .08。份额是研究判断，不由来源直接给定。
overlap boundaryCounts only the residual maintenance of channels evidenced as belonging to Wang Xuance among at least four Tang court missions to Central India in 641–658; it does not credit all Tang–India relations, Xuanzang exchanges, or military actions.

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED
Not included in this score
These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.
Accounts of military action around 649
649年前后军事行动叙述
Reason D06_HOLD: the intake package has not verified individual actions, local allies, or direct wartime harm through scholarly prose or Tang-dynasty historical materials; no positive military score is established.
Original Chinese reason
D06_HOLD：摄取包未以学术正文或唐代史料核实个人行动、当地盟友和直接战争伤害，不建立正向军事分。
