三千字解音

Three Thousand Characters with pronunciation glosses

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

Paired with the 1906 text 都三千一句, this spans eleven years. Matching sequence and differing correspondences can be operationalized as rates of structural retention and character replacement, providing testable measures for cultural rhythms.

Evidence limits and unresolved readings

Contents and order match 都三千一句, but some Chinese / Nôm correspondences differ. This supports continuity with variation within one textual framework.

Original working transcription · Chinese source

Retained verbatim for comparison. This is the researcher’s transcription, not a verified edition of the complete manuscript.
