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.
Working tags
Zhuang writing · Five-syllable lines · Buluotuo · Muliujia · Ritual talismans
Names and recorded roles
Mo Rixiu (莫日秀), followed by 字 (zi).
Date as written
Copying finished on day 10 of the sixth month in guimao year (癸卯).
Dating candidates in the August edition
1843 or 1903; neither is preferred for now.
Dating rationale
Only guimao is given. The researcher's general assessment of this material as late Qing may make 1903 a working candidate. However, no independent reign date, verified matching person, or geographical anchor excludes 1843.
Confidence in the August edition
Low.
Place formula as written
Not found in the available record.
Historical geography and its limits
The available record contains no place names suitable for reconstructing an administrative hierarchy. Provenance is not inferred from the style of the contents.
Textual features
Five-syllable Zhuang writing, with Buluotuo, Muliujia, and ritual talismans.
Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Zhuang writing · Five-syllable lines · Buluotuo · Muliujia · Ritual talismans. 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
Retain guimao candidates from multiple cycles; do not select a year solely from the group's average date.
