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).
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...

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...
