	Five Great Classic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In China, this book is regarded as a relatively infallible collection of documents; in the West, the book is considered mainly a collection from the middle or late Chou period and so relatively unreliable as a source for the earlier dynasties.
		The Book of History has served throughout Chinese history as a repository of political wisdom, as the source book of exemplary models of government.
		The Classic traditionally ascribed the third position is the Shih ching, the Book of Odes ; this book is a collection of three hundred poems from the Chou dynasty.

	Introduction
		Odes IV has maintained the relatively rudimentary assumption that praise and blame are mutually exclusive categories: the poet in total control of the creative and interpretive processes performs one act or the other.
		Odes IV as the new and greater Pindar, exactly how he shapes and defines his panegyric persona is given short shrift compared to whether or not he reflects imperial interests.
		Odes IV Horace is concerned to establish the role of the poet and the lyric poetic in Roman society.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.08.21
		It is stimulating to see the book treated as a unified collection, and although it is not always wholly convincing overall and is dogged by an uneveness of tone, there are valuable connections and interpretations to be found in Symposion of Praise, which should be of interest to any serious student of C.
		As intimated by the focus of Chapter 1 upon the connections between Book 4 and the earlier odes, J. is strong on the continuity between Horace's 'sympotic persona' of the earlier work and the odes of the fourth book.
		To conclude, the reading of these odes as inviting a 'communal' response is well-sustained and of interest; the discussions of each individual poem are thoughtful and carefully integrated with each other, and the book as a whole is very readable.

		Wang was sure this was the siguang mentioned in the Book of Odes (Shijing), that most venerable of Chinese classics.
		Wang surmised that this type of vessel, bearing a horned creature on its lid, matched the passages in the Odes that read, "I will take a cup from that rhinoceros' horn," or, as in the first line of the poem cited above, "How long is that cup of rhinoceros horn." (ii).
		For the siguang of antiquity was a serving vessel, probably derived from the form of an ox horn rather than a rhinoceros.

		He does, however, virtually quote a sentence from Archytas' book on harmonics in Book VII of the Republic (530d), and his discussions of the science of stereometry shortly before this are likely to have some connections to Archytas' work in solid geometry (528d).
		Archytas B1 is the beginning of his book on harmonics, and most of it is devoted to the basic principles of his theory of acoustics and, in particular, to his theory of pitch described in section 2.2 above.
		Book VII of the Republic with its elaborate argument for the distinction between the intelligible and sensible realm, between the cave and the intelligible world outside the cave, may be in large part directed at Archytas' attempt to use mathematics to explain the sensible world.

	Musical Worship - Odes of Solomon
		The "watchmen of the night" hired to defend the faith didn't have a clue that the Odes were misappropriated.
		While God was giving The Book of the Covenant in written form the Israelites fell back into their old Egyptian worship of Apis which was with drinking, singing their magical incantations or songs, playing instrumental music and praising Apis the "holy bull" which had probably perished to show God's superiority in the plagues.
		Early antiphonal or responsorial singing was not to "sing idle songs" but it was a way to progressively learn the "Truth of His faith" as passages were read and repeated to the point that the entire group or class could speak (sing) the passage in unison.

		The Five Classics consist of The Book of Changes, The Book of History, The Book of Odes, The Book of Rites and The Spring and Autumn Annals.
		The Book of Changes is regarded with almost universal reverence, both on account of its antiquity, and also for the unfathomable wisdom which is supposed to be concealed under its mysterious symbols.
		The Four Books, which rank next after The Five Classics are composed, for the most part, of the words, conversations, and opinions of Confucius and Mencius, as recorded by their disciples.

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 90038044
		The book begins by tracing the rise and development in China of the disposition to treat certain 'classical' texts as the ultimate repositories of the culture's values and norms, a disposition that was to shape the political, social, and cultural institutions of traditional China.
		In this view, the Odes were read as the inscriptions of the aims and intentions of their authors, which were metonymically linked with the personalities of the authors and the social worlds that produced them.
		Successful reading concerned less the intellectual apprehension of the messages of the Odes than it did the internalization and appropriation of the aims and intentions which informed them, a process that was to contribute to the classical Confucian project of changing both the individual and society as a whole.

		In the other book on the Xia dynasty one of these brothers was attempting to bring order by punishing bad ministers, though he claimed he would not punish those who were forced to follow them, as he led his soldiers into battle.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.09.17
		Readers of the earlier installments will be familiar with the general approach: the translation of each poem is followed by several pages of close reading, including careful attention to metrical effects and the sound of the language.
		The last ode, #30, likewise accommodates within its proud stance a touch of dark wit with the reference to Libitina, recalling the unsavory streets of the Esquiline where she was worshipped and possibly the corpses in the amphitheater.
		In that book, some poems of Book 1 (e.g., #5) were reproduced exactly from 1995's Odes 1; more extensive changes were made in Odes 2, although perhaps W.'s modest claim of translations "slightly adjusted" (p.v) held true for some (e.g., #15).

	Odes of Horace
		Among his poetry are four books of odes (known in Latin as "carmina"), containing just over one hundred individual poems (103, to be exact).
		In one of these odes (3.30) Horace bragged that his poetry would live as long as Vestal Virgins climbed the Capitoline Hill in Rome.
		Delight in the odes of Horace is found by reading Horace, not in reading books or articles about Horace.

		The most frequent themes of his Odes and verse Epistles are love, friendship, philosophy, and the art of poetry.
		Horace, in the Odes, represented himself as heir to earlier Greek lyric poets but displayed a sensitive, economical mastery of words all his own.
		Some of the Odes are about Maecenas or Augustus: although he praises the ancient Roman virtues the latter was trying to reintroduce, he remains his own master and never confines an ode to a single subject or mood.

		This book is the first comprehensive study of an important monument of twelfth-century Chinese art, the imperially sponsored set of handscrolls transcribing and illustrating the poems in the ancient anthology known as the Book of Odes (Shijing), long canonized as a ‘Confucian classic’.
		The project is reconstructed and analysed as the centerpiece of Southern Song emperor Gaozong’s efforts to bring about a dynastic revival and to persuade the Confucian official-elite of his own legitimacy to rule.

		The Book of Odes says, "Even though Chou was an ancient state, its mandate was sustained anew." Therefore there is nothing in which the Superior Man does not fully exert himself.
		The Book of Odes also says, "Aah, the ancient kings are not forgotten!" The Superior Man treats the worthy as worthy and loves his family.
		The Book of Odes says: "His manner unchanging, he rectifies his whole state." Only when the ruler has actualized the harmonious relationships of father/son, elder brother/younger brother in himself will the people take him as a model.
