| What We’re Reading Tonight: |
Mozi Basic Writings, trans. Burton Watson. Columbia University Press. Wonderful translation that gives a hint of the rhythmic prose of the original.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Anne Birrell, trans. and editor. Penguin. Ancient Chinese description of countries and peoples in the far reaches of the Middle Kingdom.
Chinese Magical Medicine by Michael Strickmann. Stanford University Press. This book continues to open up new paths in my understanding of ancient Chinese culture and its connection with spirits and ancestor worship. More from this volume soon.
