On the other hand when the reign is specified as well, the combination gives the most precise form of date. But unfortunately there are many cases in which the reign name is absent, and we can only judge the cycle by the style of the ware, a calculation which is always open to dispute. It is not often that the cycle is so clearly indicated by an indirect method as in the oft-quoted mark _yu hsin ch´ou nien chih_ [Chinese] = made in the _hsin ch´ou_ year recurring (_yu_).This can only be 1721, when the _hsin ch´ou_ year actually recurred in the (sixty-first year of) reign of K´ang Hsi.[453] (_b_) The more usual form of date mark is that which gives the reign name of an Emperor. On ascending the throne the Emperor discarded his family name and assumed a title by which his reign was thenceforth known. This is the name which appears in the date marks, and it is known as the _nien_ (period) _hao_ (name). After his death the Emperor received another title, the _miao hao_, or name under which he was canonised; but though reference might be made to him in history under his _miao hao_, it is obvious that the posthumous name cannot occur on contemporary date marks.
