 * 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.

The word used is directly translated to widgeon, which is a kind of bird, though Baike glosses it as a kind of gull instead?

IDK Why Legge translates it as on the King, from the Baike vernacular it is like the birds are in the middle of a river?

The wine is strained to remove the sediment, so it has a meaning of 'clear'.

Do not know why Legge says sliced, it just says dried meat... I guess dried meat is usually sliced?

Baike claims the places the birds land is just a sound change without deep meaning.
