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 28.**
ONLY 2 SHI JING WEEKS LEFT, THIS INCLUDED!

292. 絲衣 - Si Yi
絲衣其紑、載弁俅俅。
自堂徂基、自羊徂牛。
鼐鼎及鼒、兕觥其觩。
旨酒思柔。
不吳不敖、胡考之休。
In his silken robes, clear and bright,
With his cap on his head, looking so respectful,
From the hall he goes to the foot of the stairs,
And from the sheep to the oxen.
[He inspects] the tripods, large and small,
And the curved goblet of rhinoceros horn.
The good spirits are mild;
There is no noise, no insolence:
An auspice, [all this], of great longevity.
Re: 292. 絲衣 - Si Yi
"And from the sheep to the oxen." sacrifice animals?
So just--yep, the ritual is looking good, and will probably do what it's supposed to?
Re: 292. 絲衣 - Si Yi
Yep sacrifice animals
Baike has... so many words about rituals @.@
