The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Estimated: no air date has been announced. A 12 September 2026 schedule round-up on Weibo[4] lists 谷雨 among October titles on the platforms' slates whose slot is not final, and Youku's channels released two new trailers on 16 September, the usual run-up to a premiere. This places it in the second half of October, on 19 October 2026. It wrapped in April 2025, and Li Lu's In the Name of the People aired 10 months after wrapping, so this drama is already later than that. CCTV[6]-1 slots often move, so the date could slip. Re-date when CCTV or Youku announce it.
Li Lu's earlier anti-corruption hit wrapped on 1 June 2016 and premiered on 28 March 2017, about 10 months later; a comparison for the estimate.[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
