Provided we follow this theory, the time before A.D. 710 (the year of the national capital transfer to Heijo-kyo) is called the Nara period's earlier half (or the Hakuho period), and the time after then is called the Nara period's latter half (or the Tenpyo period). |
この場合、平城遷都の710年を境として、それ以前を奈良時代前期(または白鳳時代)、以後を奈良時代後期(または天平時代)と称する。 |
