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.
·房中书透视· 对于房中书,国内的学术界向来讳莫如深,只是在高罗佩的《中国古代房内考》中译本出版之后,我们才知道那是一些属于古代养生学的文本。然而,也许正是因为高罗佩对房中书给予了比较温和的评价,原来一直被打入冷宫的此类文本一时间变得神奇起来...
評分举案称奇!从历史的客观角度来写,行文有趣。原来古代中国人对性并不是持淫秽态度,而是向祭祀一样的神圣态度,也感叹于古人在性交上的智慧和对男性对强身健体的迷信。古代中国夫妻性关系 1.在中国古代的儒家文化中,性交一直被解释为夫妻之间为了生育后代而进行的一种严肃的仪...

評分本书不足之处。。。 “1·作者几乎完全没有论述中国原始社会的性问题,原始社会占人类历史的绝大部分,原始初民的性生活对后世有很大影响; 2·资料性很强但是理论性不足,掌握中国历史发展的脉络很不够; 3·缺乏当时的有关新材料,比如70年代初发掘的马王堆汉墓,其填补了性...
評分这是一本以中国朝代更变为时间线索的关于性文化考究的学术专著。作者是荷兰的一位东方学家、小说家、外交家、翻译家,名为高罗佩。他大概也是一名东方迷,对中国文化有着强烈的认同和沉迷。起初拿到这本书,我重复几次确认作者的国籍。是的,完全惊讶于如此专业的中国性学专著...
