Secret rites for inviting the six domestic animals

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 · Five-syllable lines · Flower King Holy Mother · 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

Cover and final pages are missing; title and volume boundaries require verification.

Original working transcription · Chinese source

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