dankodes 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.**

Re: 96. 雞鳴 - Ji Ming
There's controversy over which lines are attributed to the woman or man. Is it all the woman, with the poet intervening to provide context; the first two lines for stanzas 1 and 2 are the woman and the last stanza is all the woman, with the rest the man; or first two lines of stanzas 1 and 2 and last two lines of stanza 3 are the woman and the rest is the man?
There's a lot of internal rhyme in this poem too
