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.

Divination verses precede diagrams, divination names, categories, and interpretive verses; relatively complete preservation.
Analysis in the August edition
The 1989 copy is an important counterexample / control. It shows that an old ritual type is not a static survival, but can continue to be copied in modern times. It cannot represent the late Qing, but can test active continuity.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
1989 is not late-Qing evidence. It is a modern comparison for continued copying and use of ritual texts.
