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!

296. 般 - Ban
於皇時周。
陟其高山、嶞山喬嶽、允猶翕河。
敷天之下、裒時之對、時周之命。
Oh! great now is Zhou.
We ascend the high hills,
Both those that are long and narrow, and the lofty mountains;
Yes, and [we travel] along the regulated He,
All under the sky,
Assembling those who now respond to me.
Thus it is that the appointment belongs to Zhou.

Both those that are long and narrow, and the lofty mountains;" via... roadworks? and the river is subject to some engineering works too? to prevent endemic flooding and facilitate transportation?
"Thus it is that the appointment belongs to Zhou." so the appointment is yours because you're doing the work, or like: 'thus, we execute the task'?
Re: 296. 般 - Ban
Baike's vernacular tl for the last line is "May the fate of Zhou last forever". From the gloss it might be as a more literal tl, "bear/support Zhou's fate"
