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: 190. 無羊 - Wu Yang
"victims": sacrificial animals
"abundant provision": prepare [tools]. I am really not sure where Legge gets that line from lol
"With their large faggots, and smaller branches,": 'with' is 'take', 'large faggots' is 'coarse firewood', 'smaller branches' is 'thin firewood'
"And with their prey of birds and beasts.": this is literally 'male and female', which baike glosses with "flying is called male/female", meaning hunting birds
"Vigorous and strong,": very carefully and prudent in appearance, indicating the sheep are afraid of separating from their flock
"Of multitudes": locusts. Ancient people believed locusts turned to fish. During droughts they'd become locusts and in favorable weather, fishes
The tortoise-and-serpent flags are for the outskirts with few people; the falcon flags for provinces with many people
