There are two conclusions for the written year of on destiny by Liu Xiaobiao,one proves it was completed before the 1st and the other 7th year in Tianjian—the reign title of Liang Wudi;but the two ideas are both wrong: the former give the idea by missing a word at the outset while the latter misunderstanding the idiom years passing.Then we hold the idea that the discussion was completed on 15th year in Tianjian or a little later.The wrong conclusion that on break off relations was completed on 7th year in Tianjian is resulted by mistaking the idiom no grass around the new tomb and neglecting the background only when the sons are out of mourning can they go for long journey—that this discussion was completed on the winter of 9th or 10th year in Tianjian.A second letter in reply again to Liu zha was completed between the 16th and 18th year in Tianjian.Xu Fei's to dao gai an antiquities for ascending on the langya castle should be completed on the 18th year in Tianjian or 1st or 2nd year in Putong,and it is more possibly written in the year of Putong.
