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: Zhuang writing · Daoist material · Mixed symbols · Missing cover and final pages. 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
Distinguish the two persons' precise roles through inscription location, verbs, and handwriting.
Original working transcription · Chinese source
