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.
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).
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...
评分我最喜欢一个叫《武林争霸So you think you can dance》的美国真人秀。在这个节目中,我们除了见证选手的成长外,还能领略到各国各地舞种的风采。 摩登舞、拉丁舞、现代舞以及街舞这些舞种恐怕已然深入人心,真人秀制作人仿佛还意犹未尽,更是加入印度宝莱坞、美国乡村舞、双人...
评分本书颠覆了我对对中国性文化传统的认知,高罗佩认为中国古代的性文化传统从总体上来说是健康的。性交在英语里是“intercourse”, 远没有汉语里“云雨”一词来的健康有内涵。 一、关于作者 高罗佩,荷兰汉学家,被称为同时代最了解中国的外国人,精通十五国语言,《大唐狄公案》...
评分这是一本正经书,写的是古代房内,同性恋却少有涉及,这个荷兰人认为中国人对男子同性恋采用中立态度,因为不会造成任何一方元气受损,即对健康无影响,与房中毫不相关。 而同时中国历史上男子同性恋导致了艺术成就的产生,人们还会赞扬它。高罗佩并认为同性恋在汉代以前很少...
