There are issues in Li Jue's death date, and therefore birth date. According to the chronicles of the reign of Emperor Xuānzong, in the Old Book of Tang, which is the only official historical source that gave a particular date for his death, Li Jue died on the Bingchen day of the seventh month of the sixth year (852) of Emperor Xuānzong's Dazhong era — see Old Book of Tang, vol. 18, part 2 — but no such day existed. See Academia SinicaChinese-Western Calendar Converter.Archived 2010-05-22 at the Wayback Machine Li Jue's biography in the Old Book of Tang indicated that he died in the seventh year of Dazhong era (853), but did not give a month or a day. See Old Book of Tang, vol. 173. Li Jue's biography in the New Book of Tang did not give a death date at all, but gave his death age as 68. See New Book of Tang, vol. 182. As only the chronicles of Emperor Xuānzong's reign in the Old Book of Tang even attempted to date Li Jue's death to the month, that date will be used here (with an assumption that only the Bingchen day was incorrect).

Li Jiang was only briefly the prefect of Hua Prefecture, in 815, so it must be at that time that Li Jue met him. See Old Book of Tang, vol. 164.
Wu Chongyin served as the military governor of Heyang Circuit from 810 to 818, so Li Jue's service under him must have been late in that stint. See Old Book of Tang, vol. 161.
As Niu served as the military governor of Wuchang from 825 to 830, Li Jue's service under him must be during that period. See Old Book of Tang, vol. 172.
As Wei served as chancellor from 827 to his death in 829, his comments about Li Jue must have been during those years. See Old Book of Tang, vol. 159.
