R.H. van Gulik, (1910-1967) studied Law and Oriental Languages at the Universities of Leiden and Utrecht, and in 1935 took his doctor's degree with honours on a thesis dealing with the horse cult in India, Tibet, and the Far East. Having entered the Netherlands Foreign Service in that same year, he held posts in Tokyo, Chunking (Nanking), Washington, New Delhi, Beirut, and Kuala Lumpur. His last posting was as Netherlands ambassador in Japan. Dr. van Gulik, who, after his thesis, continued to make valuable contributions to Sanskrit and Far Eastern studies, is also well-known as the author of the series of detective stories about Judge Dee.
Paul R. Goldin is Associate Professor of Chinese Thought at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Rituals of the Way: The Philosophy of Xunzi (Open Court, 1999), and The Culture of Sex in Ancient China (University of Hawai’i Press, 2002). He is also a co-editor of the Reader of Traditional Chinese Culture (University of Hawai'i Press).
In 1961 Robert van Gulik published his pioneering overview of Sexual Life in Ancient China. This edition of the work is preceded by an elaborate introduction by Paul Rakita Goldin assessing the value of Van Gulik’s volume, the subject itself, and its author.
The introduction is followed by an extensive and up-to-date bibliography on the subject, which guides the modern reader in the
literature on the field which appeared after the publication of Van Gulik's volume.
One of the criticisms in 1961 regarded the Latin translations of passages deemed too explicit by Van Gulik.
In this 2002 edition all Latin has for the first time been translated into unambiguous English, thus making the full text widely available to an academic audience.
荷兰人高罗佩的《中国古代房内考》,只从公元前1500年写到公元后1644年。后一个年份,是满洲人攻下北京城的年份。作者如此的安排,大概是认为大清朝的几百年里中国人的性生活真是乏善可陈。说来也是,清朝乃中国特色的中央集权制度发展之巅峰,思想钳制、文字狱、书籍禁毁,不...
评分片面的观察,东方人说养生,西方人谈爱情,其实都是为人的动物本性穿衣裳,表现出东西方文化的差异。 不仅如此,今天全世界都把西方作为评价所有事物的标准,连粗长硬都是ISO国际认证,吃惊于西方色情片器具的夸张,其实在东方传统文化的审美里,完全不是这个概念。 明代房中术...
评分不知道大家多少人知道高佩罗这人,我第一次认识他是在几年前读他的《大唐狄公案》。当时我就奇了怪了,怎么市面上那么正式一本写狄公案的竟然是外国人,而且同类写狄公案的小说竟都很一般。后来读了《大唐狄公案》还是觉得不错,可能因为我不太爱看侦探悬疑类的小说吧,所以大...
评分第一次读这本书,就被作者对中国小说的研究震住了。 高罗佩毕业后,入荷兰外交界供职,主要任职于远东各国。他自己说他是一身三任:外交官是他的职业,工作却只有暂时意义;汉学是他的终身事业,学术有永久价值;写小说是他的业余爱好,是消遣。我个人觉得高罗佩的外交...
评分有人说读金瓶梅十分难读,并不因为故事写得无趣,也不因为结构如何复杂,而是许多隐晦的名词,总让人觉得隔层纱,不如现在的说法易懂。于是我便推荐高佩罗的这本书给他,这个荷兰老头,为中国的文化做了一件大好事。 第一次读这本书已经是好几年前了,这些年来都没有再读,手...
