《年 • 初六》 Bad news first, I feel like I'm on the edge of not being able to dig out more meaningful red things... Then good news, next week is the lecturer vacation, there'll be more time for some illustration. Let's talk about the ancient Chinese poetry. "ShiJing", or the "Classic of Poetry". It is the oldest collection of Ancient Chinese poetry, created during 11th to 7th century b.c.. The edition of the total of 305 poems we read was complied by Confucius. He tried to categorise these poems according to their rhythmic and musical system - which was already lost or messed up during his era. What I love about the Ancient Chinese poetry is that each one of the single character, not even a "vocabulary" can contain a wealth of meaning. One of my favourites pieces, "Tuo xi (Leaves falling from the tree)", although it contains only 32 characters, it slightly reveals feelings of sorrow, gloom and lament by describing leaves falling from the trees and the singing that is echoing one another. / 書店裡找到了一小冊《詩經》的法文譯本。當然，不是305篇的全冊，而是主要從《風》與些許《小雅》、《大雅》中擷取的49篇。 大家最琅琅上口的便是第一首「關關雎鳩，在河之洲」。雖然昨天才稱自己浪漫，情詩戀歌也固然優美，最喜歡的詩詞卻往往是那些帶有傷感情懷，像是《蘀兮》這般的詩。 蘀兮蘀兮，風其吹女。 叔兮伯兮，倡予和女。 蘀兮蘀兮，風其漂女。 叔兮伯兮，倡予要女。 瞧著吹落的枯葉，歌者不禁想要透過與他人應和的歌聲傾洩心中的感傷。但讓他憂愁的是什麼？讀者卻無從知曉。 當然，我也承認，喜歡這篇是因為他，特短。 #nereidmurmurinparis #LNYredchallenge #chinesepoetry #darkacademiabooks #classicalpoetry

. 《project -305 》 . 《國風·唐風· 蟋蟀》 ft. korea . 蟋蟀在堂，歲聿其莫。今我不樂，日月其除。無已大康，職思其居。好樂無荒，良士瞿瞿。 蟋蟀在堂，歲聿其逝。今我不樂，日月其邁。無已大康，職思其外。好樂無荒，良士蹶蹶。 蟋蟀在堂，役車其休。今我不樂，日月其慆。無已大康，職思其憂。好樂無荒，良士休休。 . 此篇為勸⼈勤勉的感時之作。詩⼈因歲暮⽽感到時光易逝，因時光易逝的感覺而生出及時行樂的想法。 從蟋蟀由野外遷至屋內，天氣漸漸寒涼，想到“時節忽復易”，因而對時光流逝感慨，強調了需抓緊時機好好行樂，不然便是浪費了光陰 / Stella Im Hultberg 出生於韓國的當代女藝術家，在首爾，香港，台灣和加州長大，目前在紐約布魯克林生活和工作。 學習工業設計的Stella原為玩具設計師，於2005年無意間浸入藝術創作領域，作品中多以女性為主軸，刻畫出特有的空靈，安詳和安靜。 Stella筆下的女性通常處於睡眠和夢境之中，也代表著寧靜所帶來的力量。 / Credit : Photography / @aihciydiary @aihciy Hairstylist / @tykerho ( @hairmosa.lab ) Makeup Artist / @iam_ourleo @makeupbyourleo Styling / @iam_ourleo Model / @janicexxann . #project305 #shijing #project305byourleo
