Author-ized L.J.<p>This will be a thread transcribing and translating the Ming-era spiritual/self-help book <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/%E8%8F%9C%E6%A0%B9%E8%AD%9A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>菜根譚</span></a> Caìgēntán, a collection of 360 phrases, verses, and aphorisms by 洪應明 Hong Yingming. I am using the edition with Korean translation and commentary by Buddhist monk, classical scholar, poet, and independence activist 한용운 Han Yong-un. The plan is to practice <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> typing in <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/Bopomo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bopomo</span></a> and also bulk up my knowledge of Classical characters &amp; grammar. It's going to be a LONG thread if I get it going long enough, so every post will be tagged <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/Caigentan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caigentan</span></a> for easy filtering and you can also mute the whole thread.</p><p>EDIT: I made a wiki page where all the translations will be added as I go. <a href="https://wiki.writeout.ink/ljwrites/translation/caigentan/start" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wiki.writeout.ink/ljwrites/tra</span><span class="invisible">nslation/caigentan/start</span></a></p>
