Inventing #Tamarian: āI remembered the extremely dense, āhistoricalā metaphors present in medieval Chinese poetry and philosophical works like the I Ching.ā
āā¦ āDarkening of the Lightā stood out in Menoskyās memory. It describes the life of Prince Chi, forced to live at the court of the evil tyrant Chou Hsin. āā Chi at the court of Chouā was the first sentence I wrote for the Tamarian language,ā Menosky notes. āBut I didnāt use it in the episode, or Iād have revealed my source.ā

āHere's a secret that sinologists won't tell you: A passage in classical Chinese can be understood only if you already know what the passage says in the first placeā¦ classical Chinese really consists of several centuries of esoteric anecdotes and in-jokes written in a kind of terse, miserly code forā¦ bookworms who already knew the whole literature backwards and forwards, anyway.ā
Reminded me of āShaka, When the Walls Fellā š
