* 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!

Re: 290. 載芟 - Zai Shan

Third, some “Eulogies of Zhou” are closely interrelated: they share entire lines or even couplets with one another but not with other poems, marking them as a single larger unit of text. Thus, of the thirty components of characters of “Year ofAbundance” (Mao 279 “Feng nian”), sixteen are verbatim identical to verses in “Clear Away the Grass” (Mao 290 “Zai shan”). At the same time, “Clear Away the Grass” also shares three more lines with “Good Ploughs” (Mao 291 “Liang si”), and additional individual lines with four other neighboring texts.20 One may, thus, think of the texts of the“Eulogies of Zhou” not as individually authored texts but as variations of material taken from a shared poetic repertoire.
