Private diaries are important sources of historical data
for research on climate change. Their advantages include a high veracity and
reliability, accurate time and location information, a high temporal
resolution, seasonal integrity, and rich content. In particular, these data
are suitable for reconstructing short-term, high-resolution climate series
and extreme climatic events. Through a case study of Yunshan Diary, authored by Bi Guo of
the Yuan dynasty of China, this article demonstrates how to delve into
climate information in diaries, including species distribution records,
phenological records, daily weather descriptions and personal experiences
of meteorological conditions. In addition, this article considers how to use
these records, supplemented by other data, to reconstruct climate change and
extreme climatic events on various timescales, from multidecadal to annual
or daily. The study of Yunshan Diary finds that there was a relatively low amount of
precipitation in central and southern Jiangsu Province in the summer of
1309; the winter of 1308–1309 was abnormally cold in the Taihu Lake basin.
In the early 14th century at the latest, the climate in eastern China
had begun to turn cold, which reflects the transition from the Medieval Warm
Period to the Little Ice Age.
