(Note: In the original text of the Basic Annals, the Biographies of the Masters had only ten fascicles. The table of contents and the general guidelines both listed eleven fascicles, assigning fascicle 21 to it, which was an error on the compiler's part. Therefore, if one arranged them fascicle by fascicle following the earlier table of contents, there would be 55 fascicles, whereas the Basic Annals ends at 54. Now, following the Basic Annals, since there is no text for the eleventh fascicle of Biographies, its title is removed from the table of contents. Fascicle 22 of the table of contents is changed to 21, and up to 55 is changed to 54, so as to match the number of the Basic Annals.)
