源茂製 · Evidence under review
The earlier workshop attribution and museum reference could not be substantiated from the cited library book. They have been withdrawn pending an identifiable object or a precise supporting passage. The characters below preserve the research question; they are not a verified historical impression.
Reading to investigate
源茂製 / 源茂
Yuánmào zhì / Yuánmào
In the longer proposed reading, 製 means “made”. The question turns on the name before it. Figure 4-97 illustrates two Fengxi readings, 源興 and 元興. Both end in 興, whereas the proposed 源茂 ends in 茂. Neither form supplies a documented position for 源茂 or 源茂製.
Evidence under review
Bibliographic correction: the library copy is by Li Bingyan and Lin Nan, Jinan University Press, 2022. The former authors, publisher, year and claim of a complete reading were incorrect. Correcting this record does not verify every inherited claim citing it; those claims require passage-level review.
