Playlist
- I made a playlist featuring some of the songs that I listened to while translating poems and writing essays for the collection. The term “知音,” which I often translate into “kindred spirit,” means literally “the one who understands your songs.” Qiu Jin wrote a lot about kindred spirits (zhiyin), so hopefully folks will enjoy this as much as I do.
Classical Chinese Poetry Bingo Sheet
I created this to introduce folks to some common motifs and tropes in Classical Chinese poetry. Some of these elements show up in the modern poetry I translate too. Tag yourself. I’m “feeling sad on a boat.”
