Shi Jing, The Book of Odes: Lessons from the States, Odes of Qi
Some notes:
* 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.
* I believe the reminder emails have stopped, so I'll seek a new service to run that. I forgot to get to it this week--will make a note.
When the second batch of these is up and running, if you would like not to be on the list and there isn't an unsubscribe option in the email itself, please just respond 'unsubscribe' or something and I'll take you off the reminder roster.
* IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN or have other ideas, please let me know on this post.
* 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.
**NEXT BATCH FEB 8.**

VIII
The Lu Ling; narrative. The admiration in Ch‘i of hounds and hunters.
1Ling-ling go the hounds; ling-ling the hounds go.
Their master is kindly and good, as we know.
2With double rings furnished, on go the hounds;
In goodness and grace their master abounds.
3Three rings at their necks, they rush to the chase;
Their master is famous for power and for grace."
