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
