The Works of Li Qingzhao, Prose 2.1 through 2.5

[x_los]

After a delay in which I came down with various interesting illnesses, we return 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). This week we're reading the prose chapter: 2.1 through 2.5, 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.

Baike has what seems like some basic instructions that have been reconstructed. It honestly from the description seems more like a modern board game than I'd expect -- a board with locations, different pieces that have different functions in those locations, and movements/actions constrained by dice throw results. Also is played 2-5, with 2 being best.

Hmm, I wonder if one can play it.
