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 14.**
ONLY 4 SHI JING WEEKS LEFT, THIS INCLUDED!

266. 清廟 - Qing Miao
於穆清廟、肅雝顯相。
濟濟多士、秉文之德。
對越在天、駿奔走在廟。
不顯不承、無射於人斯。
Ah! solemn is the ancestral temple in its pure stillness.
Reverent and harmonious were the distinguished assistants;
Great was the number of the officers:
[All] assiduous followers of the virtue of [king] Wen.
In response to him in heaven,
Grandly they hurried about in the temple.
Distinguished is he and honoured,
And will never be wearied of among men.

The 駿 threw me a bit because I legit thought for a moment they had horses running about the temple, but it's being used here to indicate running/walking speedily.

It also says it's controversial if it's actually a sacrifice to Wen wang, or if he's just symbolically an ancestor, but Baike comes down on the side of specifically for Wen wang.
