Distinguish junior/intermediate scope from shared foundations.
Evaluate the actual manuscript and evidence rather than a synopsis alone.

Track controlling versions, corrections and substantive late changes.
Proof comparison, Chinese language conventions and quality evidence
Matching copy and correcting underlying errors are different tasks.
Make the actual location and intended change unambiguous.
Apply Chinese punctuation and numeral conventions in context.
Preserve the metric denominator, weights and unit, then check surrounding changes.
Copyright, author agreements and publication permissions in China
Identify the actual work, owner, right and proposed use.

Chinese book history through carriers, production and evidence
Define precisely what an early surviving artifact proves.
Relate carrier and binding structure to actual handling.
Distinguish woodblock, movable type and manuscript production.
Use edition and institutional evidence rather than a universal progress story.
Structured books, metadata, identifiers and digital quality
Separate meaningful source structure from one output’s appearance.
Use the actual EPUB version, manifest and reading-order model.
An identifier or valid schema does not prove accurate metadata or lawful rights.
