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 31.**

Re: 252. 卷阿 - Juan A
Came the wind whirling from the south.
There was [our] happy, courteous sovereign,
Rambling and singing;
And I took occasion to give forth my notes' what is this weird frame narrative all about what in the Barrow Wrights--
'host of all the Spirits!' Sounds possessed bruv
'You have received the appointment long-ackowledged' long acknowledged as his due, or?
Is a jade mace a ritual tool?
What have these paired phoenixes and dryandras to do with it?
Weird note to end on.
Re: 252. 卷阿 - Juan A
The vernacular translation of 'You have received the appointment long-acknowledged' seemed more like, you've received the Mandate of Heaven for a long time, but I could be misunderstanding it.
'jade mace: gui is an ancient ritual object made of jade, in the shape of a long strip with the top end pointed. zhang is also an ancient ritual object made of jade, in the shape of a long strip with the top end at an acute angle.
The dryandras are for ~atmosphere~ apparently. But the phoenix is being compared to the king of Zhou and the birds the virtuous officials.
