Started making everything we have already discussed into a neat and updateable chart! Feel free to feedback! drive.google.com/file/d/1gTNXJU…

@bryancsk I wanna be a part of it! Maybe that will motivate me to keep translating the Genko Shakusho!

I'm creating a collaborative wiki of interlinear translations of pre-contemporary texts. I've populated it with a lot of translations of texts that are not available in the English already, like the Tongjian Jishi and Mediaeval Greek poetry.

Each composer on HOYO-MiX's Genshin team brings their own unique style and flair to the soundtrack shaping Teyvat’s atmosphere in distinct ways. What defines them? Who is behind the track? We offer an in-depth yet simplified analysis of each, showcasing their characteristics.📌

Does anyone have a copy of the article “Yün 云and yüeh 曰as verbs and as particles.” A.C. Graham. Acta Orientalia XLIV, (1983), pp. 33-71?

諸岡卓真著『現代本格ミステリの研究― 「後期クイーン的問題」をめぐって』（北海道大学出版会、2010年）を必死に探しています。インターネットで調べたところ、どこを探しても在庫切れと表示されています。どなたか探してくれる方はいらっしゃいませんか？@HU_Bungaku

@invisible_event @medwardsbooks @ArmchairSleuth @luqiucha @JamesSByrnside @DWaM22 Incorporated! But you can't deny that the list is conspicuously made of novels - and occasional short story collections taken together and not even having impossibilities in every single story! How do you want me to include those - not at all or pick only impossible stories?

A new Locked Room Library is in the making, and YOU are invited to participate! @medwardsbooks @ArmchairSleuth @luqiucha @JamesSByrnside @DWaM22 @invisible_event rudetection.wordpress.com/2024/01/26/new…

Based on discussions with scottkratner in the comments, as well as on a very important dichotomy introduced by @i_solving , a new take on defining the mystery. Very literally, defining... rudetection.wordpress.com/2023/12/11/a-n…

@XianyangCB Any recommendations on an introductory but detailed and preferably well illustrated text about Han (and maybe also pre-Han) clothing?

Warring states, via 惜月寒 on Xiaohongshu.

Another question. I seem to remember a meme about the 非是是非非非是非 excerpt from 大般涅槃經疏. Now I can't find it. Could someone point me?

@pmheron @ZevHandel Thanks you so much!

@JPRidgeway @ZevHandel On page XXII of Vogelsang’s Introduction to Classical Chinese, he states that it was “The linguist Lü Shuxiang”.

Could someone point me to the source of the quip to the extent that Zhu Xi, appearing in front of Confucius, would not be able to understand a single word because of the language changing completely? Did @ZevHandel post something in this vein?

@edwardW2 Wasn't there a post recently about 非是是非非非是非 from 大般涅槃經疏? I can't find it.

The Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light from @Translate84000 read.84000.co/translation/to… A new translation of this very important text- the 31 chapter version.

@edwardW2 Yay

Read "by Jove's flames" and was wondering why the Japanese waka mentions Jupiter

Tried to define a deductive story: rudetection.wordpress.com/2023/11/09/def…

Is it for real?

Hmm, new sūtra publishers: dharmakayabooks.org

@rmasloni @XianyangCB But 孔 is surely mouth @gyankotsu ?

@JPRidgeway @XianyangCB after the third time i stumble upon this it seemed too funny to be true

@XianyangCB do any characters other than 兒 孔 囟 depict the fontanelle? asking for a friend.

@XianyangCB @rmasloni Hmm there are loads of variants of 囟 such as 𠙷 𦥓 𠔋 𠈀 䪿 𩒦 𩔨 𩕄 𩔙

@rmasloni @JPRidgeway pls advise

Woah, Carl Bielefeldt's translation of the Shōbōgenzō is out. But in paper only
