Chinese term

東晉安帝隆安、元興(397—404)間

Chinese to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting Chinese painting/archeology
史書記載,秦漢時期的經卷和屏風都經過裱背,中國古代書畫,其物質載體為帛、絹、麻紙,這些材料綿軟纖薄,需加固加厚,方能觀賞和流傳。唐代張彥遠《歷代名畫記》載:“自晉代以前,裝背不佳,宋時範曄始能裝背。”東晉安帝隆安、元興(397—404)間,技藝漸趨成熟。宋武帝時徐爰、明帝時虞龢、巢尚之、徐希秀、孫本伯編次圖書,裝背為妙。

during the Long'an and Yuanxing eras of Emperor An of Eastern Jin Dynasty (397-404)

In ancient China, an emperor can have more than one era name (年号) during his reign (except the Ming and Qing dynasties, as far as I can recall), and the years would be numbered and named after the era name.

Both 隆安 and 元兴 are the era names of 东晋安帝 (Emperor An of Eastern Jin Dynasty). So it is during the Long'an and Yuanxing eras of Emperor An of Eastern Jin Dynasty.

More info on 年号/era names if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_era_name

隆安 was 金安帝's first era name, and 元兴 was the second.

According to http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/晋安帝, he had 4 era names:
年号

隆安:397年-401年
元兴:402年-404年
大亨:402年三月—十二月
义熙:405年-419年

I think you may need to add 'AD' to the years.

Oops! I made a typo mistake earlier. I meant 晋安帝, not 金安帝...

There seems to be a broken link in my earlier note. The link to 晋安帝 should be: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/晋安帝
Peer comment(s):

neutral David Lin : a little discrepancy: did he have 4 eras or only three. As shown in your link it is only: Longan (隆安 lóng ān) February 13, 397-February 17, 402 Yuanxing (元興 yuán xīng) February 18, 402-March 1, 405 Yixi (義熙 yì xī) March 2, 405-419. Same as what I found.

during the reign of Eastern Jin Emperor Andi's Long'an and Yuanxing (317-420) era.

it should be during the reign of Eastern Jin Emperor Andi's Long'an and Yuanxing (394 - 404 AD) era.

因为隆安年在 397 开始,元兴年在402 开始。安帝是東晉 (317-420)德宗皇帝。在位年号有隆安、元兴、义熙 (405开始)到419年,在位共 22年 ,之后由恭帝德文继位,改国号元熙,仅一年东晉国灭亡。

my fingers are frozen due to cold weather in London. It should be 419 as the last year of the era of 安帝。 Sorry about the confusion.

neutral Sharon Toh, MITI MCIL : “改国号”应该是“改年号”或“改元”吧? :)
