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.
* One of our members is doing posts on the foundations and development of wuxia. Worth checking out!
**NEXT BATCH APRIL 19.**

Re: 186. 白駒 - Bai Ju
So predictably, Mao's commentary thinks this is to satirize how Zhou Xuan wang couldn't keep the sages in his court.
The couplet (sentence?), according to baike, is the host being like, don't go live in seclusion. Because it was troubled times, and the guest didn't want to work for the court or to disobey, so the only solution was to go into seclusion.
Re: 186. 白駒 - Bai Ju
*filthy description of sex*
Mao Commentary: yeah, so by 'keeping my come deep inside you', we believe the poet was describing the way a generous king would retain good ministers, as opposed to the 'facial slut', who drove scholars into hermitage by offering superficial acknowledg--
Never change, Mao commentary.
Ah, that ending DOES make more sense, ty.
