Memory Bamboo Slip

Memory Bamboo Slip is a personal record in Beyond the Timescape. Xu Qing, Qing Qiu are its principal character associations, while its catalog entry follows demonstrated use and custody rather than assuming that proximity means permanent ownership. (Chapters 1, 978)

History

Recorded appearances

The item is first identifiable in Chapter 1. Its later record spans 8 chapter-level appearances in the supplied corpus, with evidence including Chapters 1, 205, and 978. Those appearances establish its continuing narrative relevance without treating every retrospective mention as a new transfer or use. (Chapters 1, 205, 978)

The verified custody history is concise: Kept and personally inscribed by Xu Qing. This wording distinguishes gifts, carrying, temporary handling, disputed possession, and institutional control wherever the corpus does so. It does not infer a sale, inheritance, or permanent transfer that the cited chapters do not establish. (Chapters 1, 24, 30, 58, 205, 411)

Abilities and properties

The supplied corpus classifies the item as a personal record. Its significance comes from the uses and constraints demonstrated across its recorded appearances; effects not shown in those chapters are left unstated. Where an item has a will, activation condition, limited charge, or temporary custodian, that limitation remains part of the custody description rather than being flattened into unrestricted ownership. (Chapters 1, 205, 978)

Ownership and custody

Kept and personally inscribed by Xu Qing. Associated characters are listed because they carry, create, receive, seek, activate, guard, or otherwise materially interact with the item. The association is not itself an ownership claim, especially when the relationship involves a loan, theft, capture, institutional trust, or sentient being. (Chapters 30, 58, 205, 411, 443, 978)
