“Xi Lu Xu” 西魯序 or Shouxian 守縣 Version (Shouxian'ge version), undated, maybe 1851-1861. This manual was first discovered in the library of a nephew of Luo Xianglin 羅香林, a Hakka historian, who first published the text in 1936. It was later reprinted in 1942 in Luo Ergang's Tiandihhui wenxian lu, 41-43. According to ter Haar, this work has no information allowing for precise dating (1998, p. 36). Murray dates it to the Xianfeng era 1851-1861 (Murray 1994, p. 203). The work is transcribed using simplified characters in TDH I:35-38, and translated into English by Murray (1994, pp. 203-207)
