Locating the evidence

Locate the eight palace groups, especially Guan in Qian, doubled Gen in Gen and Xu in Kun.

Scope and limitations

Wikisource transcription without image collation; some names and characters are uncertain. Chapters four through seven are additional locators in the same work, not independent witnesses.

Locating the evidence

Chapter four, Huntian Jiazi: inspect the inner/outer lists and Gou example. The entries used for Gen are transcribed with Chen in the headings.

Scope and limitations

This site labels the suspect Chen headings as Gen by comparison with the same work's Gen chart, explicitly recording that editorial judgment. Image verification remains outstanding. The experiment assigns branches, not heavenly stems.

Locating the evidence

Chapter five's palace lists and Qian example; the later Yuanjian an passage is a separate commentary layer.

Scope and limitations

Keep the modern note separate from transmitted wording. The site's phase function formulates the listed assignments; modern commentary is not direct evidence of historical wording.

Locating the evidence

Chapter six, from the root host at line 6 to wandering soul at 4 and returning soul at 3. Compare Tiandi Guan here with Fengdi Guan in the chart.

Scope and limitations

The name discrepancy is retained. The site uses the chart's Xun-over-Kun figure without claiming a critical edition. Host–response labels do not directly identify real persons.

Locating the evidence

Chapter seven's Xu/Song diagrams and closing kin rule. Shen at line 4 is marked moving; the later statement about non-moving Shen is logged separately as a diagram–prose discrepancy.

Scope and limitations

The exercise declares changes at 1, 3, 4 and 6 without assuming away the discrepancy. Complete transformed structure and actual moving lines are distinguished. Predictive performance has not been established.

Locating the evidence

Inspect the first contributor Yehe Laoren (Qing), language Japanese and Mantetsu-material fields. No confirmed publication year is supplied.

Scope and limitations

Catalogue-only review without page-image examination. Retain Japanese as the recorded language rather than inferring a Chinese-language copy. Contributor era does not date the item.
