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.

我最喜歡一個叫《武林爭霸So you think you can dance》的美國真人秀。在這個節目中,我們除瞭見證選手的成長外,還能領略到各國各地舞種的風采。 摩登舞、拉丁舞、現代舞以及街舞這些舞種恐怕已然深入人心,真人秀製作人仿佛還意猶未盡,更是加入印度寶萊塢、美國鄉村舞、雙人...
評分 評分有人說讀金瓶梅十分難讀,並不因為故事寫得無趣,也不因為結構如何復雜,而是許多隱晦的名詞,總讓人覺得隔層紗,不如現在的說法易懂。於是我便推薦高佩羅的這本書給他,這個荷蘭老頭,為中國的文化做瞭一件大好事。 第一次讀這本書已經是好幾年前瞭,這些年來都沒有再讀,手...
評分這是一本以中國朝代更變為時間綫索的關於性文化考究的學術專著。作者是荷蘭的一位東方學傢、小說傢、外交傢、翻譯傢,名為高羅佩。他大概也是一名東方迷,對中國文化有著強烈的認同和沉迷。起初拿到這本書,我重復幾次確認作者的國籍。是的,完全驚訝於如此專業的中國性學專著...
