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.
* Remember you can also look at How to Read Chinese Poetry in Context.
* 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.
**NEXT BATCH MAY 3.**

206. 無將大車 - Wu Jiang Da Che
無思百憂、祇自疧兮。
Do not push forward a wagon; -
You will only raise the dust about yourself.
Do not think of all your anxieties; -
You will only make yourself ill.
無將大車、維塵冥冥。
無思百憂、不出于熲。
Do not push forward a wagon; -
The dust will only blind you.
Do not think of all your anxieties; -
You will not emerge from imperfect views.
無將大車、維塵雝兮。
無思百憂、祇自重兮。
Do not push forward a wagon; -
The dust will only becloud you.
Do not think of all your anxieties; -
You will only weigh yourself down.

⑹不出于颎（jiǒng）：犹言不能摆脱烦躁不安的心境。颎，通“耿”，心绪不宁，心事重重。一说通“炯”，火光明亮。
Cannot break away from the fidgety, unpeaceful state of mind. Jiong [the last character in the phrase], same as 'bright/honest', an unquiet state of mind, heavy worries. One source says 'bright', a blaze of brightness.
The vernacular translation is 心中不安会得病, if your heart is uneasy, you will fall ill.

Ancients used riding a carriage to refer to the emperor and feudal vassals, so pushing a cart metaphorically can mean serving the country.
