General Resources and Reading Suggestions

[x_los]

This is a post to drop titles of and links to relevant reading material, be it nonfiction, poetry we might want to collectively hit up in future or read on our own time, or fiction (including trying to hustle up fresh blood for your latest reading/watching obsessions, and information as to where one can find such titles).

We'll talk about poetry and nonfiction as a group before adding it to the Great Plan. 

This post will be made public once the privacy discussion is resolved.

Some of the Song 頌 or Hymns also seem to derive from or comment on particular events at the royal or regional courts, suggesting perhaps that they would have been composed by the contemporary secretaries of the courts. (Footnote: See, for instance, the discussion by Fu Sinian 傅斯年 associating the poems “Min yu xiaozi” 閔予小子(Mao 286), “Fang luo” 訪落 (Mao 287) and “Jing zhi” 敬之 (Mao 288) of the Zhou Song section with theinstallation of Kang Wang (r. 1005/03-978 B.C.) as the Zhou king; Fu Sinian quanji 傅斯年全集 (Taibei:Lianjing shuban shiye gongsi, 1980), Vol. 1, pp. 218-20. )

 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.
