I made a Classical Chinese Poetry Bingo to help people recognize the common tropes and motifs.🤣 These show up frequently in the modern poetry I translate as well. Do you recognize anything from your readings or from pop culture? Tag yourself. I'm "feeling sad on a boat" lol

Five by five bingo card. From left to right and top to bottom: drinking under the moon, bodies of water, standing at the top of a historical building I proclaim, food symbolism, emotional guqin performance, arguing with another poet, dramatic snowfall, sent from the borderlands, crying woman in the boudoir, missing one's ancestral hometown, awaking from a dream, feeling sad on a boat, male poets expressing deep affection for one another, fallen flower petals, lonely concubine in the palace, advice on how to be a hermit, farewell my friend, messages sent by wild geese, willow trees, carefree clouds, satirical comments about the emperor, ten references in the same poem, angsty birds, traveller on the road

Thank you so much to Glyphoria (run by Metatron) for publishing my co-translations of Li Qingzhao's poem 《蝶恋花-晚止昌乐馆寄姊妹》! I really enjoyed looking at this poem from different angles.

I made a playlist that features some songs I listened to while working on The Lantern & the Night Moths. The term "知音," which I often translate into "kindred spirit," means literally "the one who understands your songs," so I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. 🎵

Edelweiss+The Lantern and the Night Moths - Yilin Wangthe lantern light seems to have written a poem;they feel lonesome since i won’t read them.—“lantern” by Fei MingThe work of Tang Dynasty Classical Chinese poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei has long been celebrated in both China and internationally, and various English translations and mistranslations of their work played a pivotal yet often unacknowledged role in shaping the emergence and evolution of modern Anglophone poetry.In The Lantern and the Night Moths, Chinese diaspora poet-translator Yilin Wang has selected and translated poems by five of China’s most innovative modern and contemporary poets: Qiu Jin, Fei Ming, Dai Wangshu, Zhang Qiaohui, and Xiao Xi. Expanding on and subverting the long lineage of Classical Chinese poetry that precedes them, their work can be read collectively as a series of ars poeticas for modern Sinophone poetry.Wang’s translations are featured alongside the original Chinese texts, and accompanied by Wang’s  personal essays reflecting on the art, craft, and labour of poetry translation. Together, these poems and essays chart the development of a myriad of modernist poetry traditions in China that parallel, diverge from, and sometimes intersect with their Anglophone and Western counterparts.

I have created a webpage that documents all my receipts and provides a detailed timeline of the events related to the British Museum's use of my translations of Chinese feminist Qiu Jin's poetry without permission, credit, or pay earlier this year.

Please spread it widely to help me combat gaslighting and disinformation. Please always point folks to this webpage when discussing the incident.
