—just submitted, with an hour to spare, revisions for a forthcoming essay on the lost #paintings of the (female) Banana Garden Poets of 17th-century #China. I have been working on them for a month, but I still needed to make a big push yesterday and today.

#JustAThought Given the daily developments, early #Sinologists may be better placed than anyone else to read the gestures etc. to see which faction is dominating ད་ནི་ཉིན་ལྟར་གནས་སྟངས་མཚོད་དཔག་བྱེད་དཀའ་ཞིང་། འགྱུར་བ་འགྲོ་བཞིན་པ་ལྟ་བུ་འདུག

Posting for #Sinologists!

In March I'll start tackling #India and #China, two huge countries. India has relatively good English-language sources, & Indian naming conventions are straighforward. China will be much more challenging. So... any #sinologists #wikipedians or globally minded #feminists out there who might help? 🙏

“Living at Ease on the Ninth Day Festival” BY TAO YUANMING (365–427) I was living at ease and fond of the name Double Ninth [for the equinox on the ninth day of the ninth month]. The autumn chrysanthemums filled my garden, but I could not get hold of any strong ale, so I just ate the Ninth Day blossoms, and entrusted what was in my heart to these words. my time is so short my aims so many this man would rejoice in living long days and months proceed with the stars every habit leads me to cling to my name the dew grows cold warm breezes fade the air becomes clear heaven’s signs shine departing swallows leave no shadows behind arriving geese bring calls without end ale would rid me of a hundred worries chrysanthemums stem the afflictions of age

how can a man in a thatched hut just watch the seasons decline? my dusty flagon shames the empty jug cold blossoms show forth in vain I gather my robes sing serenely alone lost in thought deep feelings stir settling down does have its pleasures is not persisting something in itself? © 2024 Graham Sanders
