This year index organizes surviving or independently documented VIP Reference / 大参考 records from 1997. It distinguishes recovered issue evidence from gaps that still require primary-file recovery.

Origin evidence
Retrospective first-person/editor evidence dates the first formal publication under the Dacankao / 大参考 name to September 17, 1997. The original carrier, complete headers and full issue text remain unrecovered, so this is recorded as origin evidence rather than as a recovered issue file.
Recovery gaps
The original September 17, 1997 delivery carrier and headers remain recovery targets. The October 3 and October 7 catalog records below also remain carrier-unverified; their metadata must not be treated as recovered original issues.
