Chinese Word of the Day | 每日一词化外之地 (huà wài zhī dì)特师的每日一词，2026年1月4日的词汇是：化 huà 外 wài 之 zhī 地 dì释义 Definition化外之地在古代指王朝统治范围之外、尚未接受中原文化教化的偏远地区，引申还没有被文明转化的地区。Hua wai zhi di in ancient times referred to remote areas outside the dynasty's rule that had not yet accepted the civilization and teachings of the Central Plains culture, extended to mean regions not yet transformed by civilization.例句 Example近日的《三联生活周刊》中，有篇标题为《在地理踏访中，找到解决历史问题的方法》的文章，作者邢海洋是这样用这个词的：「如果沿着历史的脉络，岭南在相当长的历史时期内还都是流放犯人的地方，是一个化外之地。唐朝的韩愈因为谏佛骨被流放到潮州，那里边还有很多鳄鱼。宋朝诸如苏轼、苏辙被流放到岭南，更是我们大家所熟知的情况。」这里说的是古代岭南地区因为远离中原，被认为是文明未开化的偏远地带。In the January 4, 2026, issue of Sanlian Life Weekly, an article titled 'Finding Solutions to Historical Problems Through Geographical Exploration' by author Xing Haiyang uses this term as follows: 'If following the thread of history, Lingnan was for a long time a place for exiling criminals, a hua wai zhi di. Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty was exiled to Chaozhou for admonishing against the Buddha's bones, where there were still many crocodiles. In the Song Dynasty, figures like Su Shi and Su Zhe were exiled to Lingnan, situations well-known to us all.' This refers to how ancient Lingnan, being far from the Central Plains, was considered a remote, uncivilized area.你知道吗？ Did You Know?你知道吗？‘化外之地’常与‘蛮荒之地’‘边陲’等词互换使用，但更强调‘未被教化’的文化属性。与之相对的词是‘王化...

We will conclude with two examples by women among the many poems in the Ming and Qing that record quotidian pleasures and reflections on daily life. Whether pain and loss or pleasure and joy, men and women in late imperial China inscribed their emotions and thoughts in poetry.

After the Tang, wujue became increasingly rare; we can conclude that poets no longer saw creative potential in the form—the great Tang writers had exhausted it. Qijue, on the contrary, remained one of the most popular and expressive poetic forms throughout the classical period.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastThe Tang Dynasty: Quatrains - The Boudoir and the Frontier: High TangAlthough a small number of Six Dynasties heptasyllabic quatrains are extant, and Early Tang poets experimented with the form, stylistically mature qijue poetry was an invention of the High Tang poets, most notably Wang Changling and Li Bai. Qijue developed along with Tang popular music, for which it was the major song form. Thus initially the thematic scope was narrow: qijue lyrics were generally limited to popular yuefu themes and those describing parting from friends and loved ones. Only gradually did the scope of qijue themes expand, until by the Middle and Late Tang, the form had become a...

This episode begins with close readings of representative poems to provide readers a sense of the thematic and formal origins of jueju. A detailed examination of common jueju features then follows.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastPentasyllabic Shi Poetry: Landscape Poetry - Xie Tiao: The Integration of LandscapeThis episode concludes our exploration of Six Dynasties landscape poetry by considering the verse of Xie Tiao (464–499). By Xie Tiao's time, landscape was becoming an increasingly common topic within the world of courtly verse. Partly for this reason, Xie's poetry begins to efface the previously definitive distinction between the human world and the natural landscape, and moreover imbues that landscape with the passions of the courtier—in Xie's case, both his yearning for the court and capital and his well-justified fear of the dangers of court politics.

Where Tao Qian had written predominantly of the only-partly wild landscapes near his cottage, Xie made his theme the dramatic wildernesses of the southlands. Much of his poetry concerns the scenery of his massive estate, which he staffed with a small army of servants and retainers. His most powerful verse, however, was written in the rugged, unforgiving landscapes he passed through on journeys into exile.

In the centuries before poets began to write consistently of their concrete, personal experiences out in nature, landscape appeared in poetry primarily as a foil for the city and the court, where most poets were writing. In this role, the natural landscape could be terrifyingly inhospitable or wondrous and pure. Either way, it was for the most part imagined rather than experienced, a site more often for mental roaming than for extended in-person exploration.

Such a mosaic combination is to become a preferred structure for the most intense of lyrical expressions in later poetry.

姬羊同笼（新）EP025：当我们谈论百合文化时，我们在谈些什么？这不是一期想要定义「百合」是什么的节目，也不试图加入区分「百合」与 les/拉拉的讨论。
我们从最早接触的百合作品开始，分享自己为何被吸引，从消费者转变为创作者与研究者的故事，也讲到了现在听来略有「时泪」感的百合论坛冲浪史。
回顾种种经历的过程中，我们也逐渐意识到，在这个女性参与、创作的力量仍被低估的时代，「百合」这一自下而上、由每个人独特的想象和实践——比如早于 girlshelpgirls 之说的姐妹关系——构造的文化具备多大潜力。
如果你想安利百合作品，或是分享类似的「百合会/300」的故事，欢迎你留下评论。
本期嘉宾：馬齊Yura（微博@搖來搖去維珍尼亞），端百合专栏作者，性别/次文化研究者。招妹妹，有兴趣讨论百合文化/性别议题相关的妹妹们欢迎微博私信，当然姐姐有兴趣也可以速来。

2022-06-1852 minHow to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastHan Ancient-style Poetry: The “Nineteen Old Poems” - Interplay of Images and Emotions: Binary Structure and Multilateral TextureTwo distinct formal features, binary structure and multilateral texture, are developed in the “Nineteen Old Poems,” the definitive collection of Han pentasyllabic poetry. The rise of these two formal features attests to the profound impact of transitions from oral performance to poetic writing, from the dramatic/narrative to the lyrical mode of self-presentation.

2022-06-1315 minHow to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastHan Ancient-style Poetry: The “Nineteen Old Poems” - The Magic of One Additional Character and the Rise of Reflective PoetryAfter nearly one millennium since its birth, Chinese poetry achieved an optimal convergence of sound and sense in its pentasyllabic poems developed during the Eastern Han (25-220 CE). Taking full advantage of an explosive rise of two-character compounds, the anonymous Han pentasyllabic poets created a poetic rhythm far more flexible and expressive than all existing rhythms and adapted it for philosophical reflection and emotional brooding on human transience.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastYuefu Poetry - Political Satire or Coquetry? An Ambiguous SongThis episode discusses the two opposing interpretations of the poem entitled, “Mulberry Along the Lane,” one of the best-known yuefu songs in classical Chinese literature. Traditionally this poem has been interpreted as a representation of social injustice, depicting the situation of an official harassing a peasant girl. The other perspective is the poem is simply a verbal flirtation between a man and a woman and a popular song about a clever lady who employs an engaging and inoffensive way to turn down her suitor.

As many of the popular songs of the Han, this poem contains dialogue and monologue at the same time.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastYuefu Poetry - War as a Theme in Early Popular Chinese PoetryThis episode first discusses the functions of the Han Music Bureau and the yuefu poetry as a poetic genre. It points out the fact that we still don’t know if the Bureau really collected these songs from various regions and matched them with music. Many of the popular poems we now call “Han yuefu” are actually preserved in the History of the Liu Song Dynasty written in the sixth century. The second part focuses on analyzing the yuefu poem entitled, “We Fought South of the Walls” from different angles.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastThe Book of Poetry: The Han Canonization - Dead Deer Meat as a GiftThis episode looks at the concerted effort by three prominent Han commentators to allegorize a poem made up of disjointed or rather conflicting parts. It also reflects on the ironic fact that Han commentators’ allegorizing process itself constitutes a beautiful exercise of literary imagination, foreshadowing the fruitful exploitation of semantic, syntactic, and structural ambiguities by Du Fu, Li Shangyin, and other Tang poets.

To sanitize this poem, Han commentators resorted to an allegorizing strategy called “cutting off a section to create a new meaning,” constructing a political allegory on the thinnest of evidence.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastThe Book of Poetry: The Han Canonization - A Love Song and A Moral ExemplumThis episode discusses how the anonymous author of “Prefaces to the Book of Poetry” turned “Osprey,” the first of the 305 Shijing poems, from a lively love song into a moral exempla by means of gender switching. It also explains that such imaginative gender switching was made possible by classical Chinese grammar, especially its ungendered use of pronouns and its frequent omission of sentence subjects.

How to Read Chinese Poetry PodcastThe Book of Poetry and Diplomacy - What Does it Mean to Say, "I love you"?This episode discusses how the language of love and kinship is used in diplomatic negotiations through the recitation of odes. For example, a Lu minister uses a wedding song to compare smaller states to a bride welcomed by her groom (the powerful Jin). A woman picking artemisia with care becomes the analogue for a powerful state cherishing a weak one. A Zheng minister uses an ode about seduction to forestall or resist aggression. A Jin leader affirms an alliance through an ode celebrating brotherhood.

The man and the woman in “The Banks of the Ru” may be married or simply lovers, but the link to the previous poem is the concern about the girl’s parents.
