dankodes * I found the best option for the weekly reminder emails, via Gmail. The external service options are more involved than our purposes require. Does anyone know anything about how to arrange an Apps Script? Basically all it has to do is tell ten people, on Saturdays, to come and get their juice/poems.
Until someone knows what to do there, I'll send out manual messages weekly. If you'd like to receive these and are not getting them, please let me know.
* If you haven't read it yet, chapter one, on tetrasyllabic shi poetry, in How to Read Chinese Poetry is hugely useful for the Book of Odes, imo.
* Remember you can also look at How to Read Chinese Poetry in Context.
* IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN or have other ideas, please let me know on this post.
* Every week I search the poems' English results to see if I can find any scholarship or neat bits and pop the results in Resources. Here is this week's collection.
**NEXT BATCH JUNE 7.**

261. 韓奕 - Han Yi
"Be a support against those princes who do not come to court," is it considered disloyal not to turn out at court, and a sign you're too busy making yourself too much the master of the lands you hold at the king's pleasure? Or is this simply a matter of logistics, rather than a situation of being 'against' the king, where the poem's subject is a liaison between these parties?
"dragon-flag, with its feathery ornaments;
A chequered bamboo-screen, and an ornamented yoke;
A dark-coloured robe with the dragons on it, and the redslippers;
The hooks for the trappings of the breast-bands, and the carved frontlets;
The leaning-board bound with leather, and a tiger's skin to cover it,
The ends of the reins, with their metal rings." significant, or simply choice gifts?
"pu"?
"Han-ji"?
"A mere is a shallow lake, pond, or wetland, particularly in Great Britain and other parts of western Europe. "
"With its bears and grisly bears" ...ok so I seriously thought China only had idk pandas, aren't grizzly bears NA-exclusive?
"Presenting his skins of the white fox,
With those of the red panther and the yellow grisly bear." any significance?
