dankodes* I found the best option for the weekly reminder emails, via Gmail. The external service options are more involved than our purposes require. Does anyone know anything about how to arrange an Apps Script? Basically all it has to do is tell ten people, on Saturdays, to come and get their juice/poems.
Until someone knows what to do there, I'll send out manual messages weekly. If you'd like to receive these and are not getting them, please let me know.
* 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.
* IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO MIGHT LIKE TO JOIN or have other ideas, please let me know on this post.
* 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 recently wrote about the China History Podcast, which has a whole series on Tang Poetry, and might well be of general interest.
**NEXT BATCH APRIL 12.**

There is the sound of their bells, regular and near.

The reasons it's definitely about Zhou Xuan wang is because "The torch is blazing in the court-yard." indicates it's someone living in the imperial household; "My princely men are arriving; -
" also indicates the imperial household; "How goes the night?" is the question that the king asks the chicken-person (who announces the dawn) and "The night is not yet through." is the response as dictated in the Rites of Zhou.
