dankodesLAST WEEK OF SHI JING!!
Get your comments in on what we do next here, and I'll put up the poll on Saturday!
* 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.

Re: 魯頌 - Praise-Odes Of Lu: 298. 有駜 - You Bi
Does Legge know words other than fat, or does that just Sound Nice? Baike glosses to stout and strong anyway.
This poem praises Lu Xi gong, thought to be either when he, Qi Huan gong, and Song Huan gong attacked Chu, or in 657 BC (the third year of his rule) when there was a long drought that had broken. When Lu Xi inherited the throne, the country as in a precarious state, so after he made efforts to overcome the natural and man-made calamities, the country was finally having a good harvest.
Baike's gloss for the egrets points out that their feathers are used as dance equipment and later the article describes the poem as set during a banquet and the dancers as using the egret feathers.
