Shi Jing, The Book of Odes: Lessons from the states, Odes Of Zhou And The South

Odes Of Zhou And The South:

https://ctext.org/book-of-poetry/odes-of-zhou-and-the-south, or http://wengu.tartarie.com/wg/wengu.php?l=Shijing&no=1 (On the page, this string guides you through the Zhou poems: nº 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 .)

The sites have different set-ups for Chinese dual-facing text which are difficult to c/p, and if you'd prefer to access the poem in Chinese I'd suggest using your preferred external site. All English translations come from James Legge (on both sites, because as usual Chinese to English translation options are thin on the ground).

The titles are what the poem is traditionally known as in Chinese.

Here's the second of the week's poetry discussion posts. Both are currently set to members only, and will be made public once we sort out privacy options for anyone who wants them.

Odes Of Shao And The South:

https://ctext.org/book-of-poetry/odes-of-shao-and-the-south, or http://wengu.tartarie.com/wg/wengu.php?l=Shijing&no=12 (On the page, this string guides you through the Shao poems: nº 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 .)

Discussion Notes:

Please drop all resources, thoughts and questions in the comment stream pertaining to the relevant poem. I'd be especially grateful for context notes on these! The general wiki entry on the Book of Odes/Classic of Poetry is a nice starting point.

General questions and fannish stuff can have their own comment threads. I'll post the next two chapters' posts next Monday, unless we end up feeling that's too soon or something. The posts will remain available to go back and comment on, if you get behind but still want to engage with them.

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.
