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: 189. 斯干 - Si Gan
Baike glosses the tiles as ceramic spindles. The word used literally means roof tile. I've also now learned the word for spindle, which is inconveniently not a word in my usual dictionary...
"It will be theirs neither to do wrong nor to do good.": Baike's vernacular translation for this line is "I wish for her to not make trouble nor be improper". The gloss says indicates women should not discuss family quarrels or gossip. I think Legge's translation comes from the fact that a literal translation of the line in modern Chinese would be 'not incorrect, not rites', and he interpreted 'rites' as 'to do good', but Baike's gloss on the word is homonym to 'to discuss'.
