Sources and bibliography

Locating the evidence

Read the overview, then record the holding institution and publication number in each image caption.

Scope and limitations

The overview establishes context. Individual readings, precise dates and event interpretations require inscriptions and specialist studies.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

The page identifies the speaker, original publication and date. Retain the section title and consult the published edition for detailed claims.

Scope and limitations

This edited talk includes the editor's interpretations and unresolved questions. Attribute those positions explicitly.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Distinguish the surviving plate, its missing component and the museum's general description of board structure.

Scope and limitations

The general account of structure and operation should not be treated as a transcription of every surviving inscription on this object.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

This link identifies the Summer 2021 archived edition. Preserve that edition in citations and follow the bibliography for detailed arguments.

Scope and limitations

This is a modern philosophical survey. Traditional attributions and modern textual stratification require distinct treatment.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Record both PDF position and printed page number; verify authorship and publication details against the complete edition before formal citation.

Scope and limitations

Hosting does not establish institutional authorship. Separate inherited narratives, the writer's position and surviving evidence.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Consult Date, Description and Institution in Overview, and Stein site number Ch.85.XIII in Historical information.

Scope and limitations

Date gives 649–684; Description instead suggests the early eighth century. Cite the field used and retain the discrepancy. A shelfmark does not identify an author. Consult the original image-rights notice.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

PDF page 1 lists authors and abstract; section 3.2 covers astronomical content, and 5.1 dating (PDF pages 8–9). These file positions are not journal pagination.

Scope and limitations

The abstract counts 1,339 stars; the IDP guide gives 1,345. Preserve each count without assuming a typographical error. Authorship and dating are argued conclusions with qualifications.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Use Section 1 for cloud entries and Section 2 for station passages. Translator attribution is checked against IDP's Astronomy in China's Past project account.

Scope and limitations

This is a modern translation. Distinguish supplementation and correction from transmitted wording; verify graphs, lines and punctuation against images and editions.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Scholarly Research names the study authors and Imre Galambos's translation; the page credits Josh Anderson.

Scope and limitations

Use for modern contributor attribution and project context, not in place of manuscript images or dating arguments.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Consult A closer look, Cloud divination, and What else can the Dunhuang Star Atlas tell us?

Scope and limitations

Public-facing dates and counts can differ from specialist studies. Follow the research literature for arguments about precision, authorship and use.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Online paragraphs 3–5 cover stem lodges, general-over-hour placement and Four Lessons; 6–12 cover transmission procedures. These are web paragraph numbers, not historical folios.

Scope and limitations

Indexed transcription passages were consulted; direct access was restricted and the base edition remains unchecked. Wiki text may contain transcription or editorial errors. Verify images and edition before formal quotation.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

Consult Published, Edition and Physical Description. The Full view table identifies University of Washington as Original Source.

Scope and limitations

Retain two juan in the title and seven physical volumes separately. The responsibility statement reads Li Feng zhu jie; Chinese name graphs and the complete contents have not been checked, so no verified-author field is emitted.

Note reviewed 2026-10-24

Locating the evidence

See the abstract and volume one's origin, hourly-method, Yanbo Diaosou Rhapsody and hourly star-gate movement sections. The hourly method explicitly lists Yang 1 and Yin 9 placements.

Scope and limitations

The online transcription was consulted, without character-by-character collation against Siku images. Attribute origin narratives to the text and keep the abstract's compilation date separate from the work's composition.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

Consult title, author attribution, preface contributor, edition, juan, quantity, accession, call number and holder. The call number is 306.5 06583.

Scope and limitations

The catalogue attributes authorship to Yang Weide of the Song and a preface to Wang Xun. Folio images were not examined; a date mentioned in a preface does not by itself date these physical volumes.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

The repository supplies author, date and pagination. In INO.pdf, printed pp. 170–172 locate Jia correspondences, Yang 1, Yin 9 and palace directions; a metadata sheet precedes the article.

Scope and limitations

This review consulted the repository and extracted PDF text, without visual page verification. The study supports method comparison, not predictive efficacy or uniformity across all traditions.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

The abstract's opening attributes authorship to Wang Ximing of the Tang and notes a calculation reaching the Song's Jingyou first year. Its closing critique and the separate preface have distinct argumentative roles.

Scope and limitations

This online transcription was not collated against images in this review. A Qing editorial observation does not date every passage. Links to volumes one, two and four locate the same transmitted edition, not independent witnesses.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

Locate the epoch, Taiyi-position and Tianmu-position headings and the separate time-scale procedures. The later Kaiyuan-12 statement gives 1,937,281; the relevant reduction chain uses 360, 72 and 24.

Scope and limitations

Counting origin, exclusion conventions and exact-division cases require dedicated checking; the text includes gaps and differing counts. Reproducing explicit arithmetic does not establish a modern calendar converter.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

Use the Taiyi-placement heading for residence, the Nine-Palace heading for Qian 1 through Xun 9, and the Sixteen-Agents heading for branch and corner names.

Scope and limitations

The diagram is an editorial teaching reconstruction, not an artefact replica. Political and disaster interpretations remain historical claims; reproducing positions does not validate them.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

Locate the field-array and settled-position conditions under host and guest, and the Gaochong/Taicu and Yinzhu/Dizhu examples under mutual restriction.

Scope and limitations

These are internal textual rules and interpretations. They support textual analysis here, not a complete military-divination system or advice for real conflict.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

Locating the evidence

Consult identification for the accession and shelf location 3133, description for edition, format for two volumes and management for the National Palace Museum.

Scope and limitations

This review uses the union catalogue. Its original-resource link now opens the museum search homepage; item images were not examined. Keep attributed dynasty, copying period and web citation dates distinct.

Note reviewed 2026-10-25

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

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.

Note reviewed 2026-10-26

Locating the evidence

At item level, record the shelfmark, holding institution, image side or sequence and original item link.

Scope and limitations

The portal alone cannot establish an individual manuscript's date or reading. Check item-specific rights before reusing images.
