==Change of era==
* '''1288''' {{nihongo|''Shōō gannen''|正応元年}}: The new era name was created to mark an event or a number of events. The previous era ended and a new one commenced in ''Kōan'' 11. The era name is derived from the ''Notes on the [[Mao Commentary]]'' and combines the characters {{linktext|正}} ("correct") and {{linktext|応}} ("balanced").
