The Works of Li Qingzhao, poems 1.6 to 1.12

[x_los]

Welcome back to The Works of Li Qingzhao, freely available via De Gruyter's Library of Chinese Humanities in Mandarin and English and via several publication formats, including two open access options (the pdf appears to be better formatted than the ebook; it might be worth someone letting them know as much). This week we're reading poems 1.6 to 1.12, inclusive.

This collection uses footnotes and end notes to explicate the work. A few of this week's poems have footnotes, so look out for that.

CLP has an episode on Li Qingzhao you might find relevant.

Per Baike, "beneath blossoms in the moonlight" is a reference to 花前月下, which is an idiom about the ideal romantic setting. Baike seems convinced this is her thinking about her husband after his death anyway.
