For #AroWeek, I want to talk about the Chinese term 知音 (pronounced zhīyīn in Mandarin), which has influenced my thinking about queerplatonic relationships.

literally, a zhīyīn is someone who "truly understands your songs"

Pop over to tumblr to read more :)

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

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. 🎵
