A70 · AUGUST 2026 WORKING ENTRY

吜谷漏

Chou gu lou

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 · Missing cover and final pages · Đại Nam

Names and recorded roles

No name recorded.

Date as written

No year or month recorded.

Dating candidates in the August edition

Approximately 1804–1945 in the August working record; a broad state-name range only, not a verified manuscript date.

Dating rationale

Only Đại Nam is named. If contemporary with the writing, it could provide broad Nguyễn-dynasty context; it cannot identify a particular year.

Confidence in the August edition

Low.

Place formula as written

Đại Nam

Historical geography and its limits

Only the state name Đại Nam is present. It offers broad historical context, not a province, prefecture, or village location.

Textual features

Five-syllable Zhuang writing; cover and final pages are lost.

Analysis in the August edition

For now, this entry is best coded under: Zhuang writing · Five-syllable lines · Missing cover and final pages · Đại Nam. 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

A state name supplies only broad historical context, not a copying location or circulation route.

Original working transcription · Chinese source

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