Edition & evidence
This is the corrected August working catalogue, not a final physical bibliography. Later September re-readings are presented separately in the GSS research dossier. Dating candidates, locations, interpretations, and unresolved readings are preserved as distinct evidence layers.
The English commentary accompanies the preserved Chinese record. Quoted historical wording and unidentified characters are retained; candidate readings remain provisional.

Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Ancestral / lineage geography · Vietnamese annotations. Further analysis should first establish the location of inscriptions, ink colour and handwriting, and textual function, then compare independent materials. A single character form, state name, or divine name cannot establish provenance or the direction of transmission.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
Jiangxia occurs alongside the Huang surname, but still supports only genealogical / lineage-hall authorization within the text.
Original working transcription · Chinese source
Retained verbatim for comparison. This is the researcher’s transcription, not a verified edition of the complete manuscript.
