This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own inscription record for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, one entry in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Representative List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the Intergovernmental Committee for the purpose of recognition and safeguarding, not a religiously neutral scholarly ethnography. Use it for this practice's inscription status, inscription year and the Committee's own stated description of it; a claim about its deeper history or meaning needs a source produced outside UNESCO.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
This is UNESCO's own inscription record within the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, treated at the top tier as the Intergovernmental Committee's own official primary designation record for this practice's inscription status and year, notwithstanding that it speaks in the register's own institutional voice rather than as independent scholarly ethnography. NotesElement 00647, inscribed at the eleventh session of the Committee, Addis Ababa, 30 November 2016. Cited as the official record of a living practice, in the same shape as the corpus's Tier-1 World Heritage Committee rows.

Derived From
This record's own Title names the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as the register it is entered under, and its Author names the Committee or UNESCO itself rather than an individual scholar; one entry inside that same continuously maintained official register, not a witness independent of it.
