Sorry but I can't think of a single person who would translate 清明 to "pure brightness". This is such ridiculous translation lmao

Indeed the extent of agency exercised by the dan actors is debated because are they truly completely a reflextion of literati's sexual taste

I wonder if author will address the gender-nonconformality or transness of the dan-s, which is nonconsensual gnc in many cases of course

the translation of poems are also very awkward. the prosody of the original is obliterated and the translation alone is mediocre at best and more often than not bad. i just wish the author bothered to include the original text alongside the translations
