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.

謝承《後漢書》中有則關於“一妻多夫”的史料,“範延壽,宣帝時為廷尉。時燕、趙之間,有三男共娶一妻,生四子,長,各求離彆,爭財分子,至聞於縣,縣不決斷,讞之於廷尉。於是延壽決之,以為悖逆倫常,比之禽獸,生子屬其母。以子並付母,屍三男於市。”顧頡剛《浪口村隨筆...
評分 評分本書顛覆瞭我對對中國性文化傳統的認知,高羅佩認為中國古代的性文化傳統從總體上來說是健康的。性交在英語裏是“intercourse”, 遠沒有漢語裏“雲雨”一詞來的健康有內涵。 一、關於作者 高羅佩,荷蘭漢學傢,被稱為同時代最瞭解中國的外國人,精通十五國語言,《大唐狄公案》...
評分荷蘭人高羅佩的《中國古代房內考》,隻從公元前1500年寫到公元後1644年。後一個年份,是滿洲人攻下北京城的年份。作者如此的安排,大概是認為大清朝的幾百年裏中國人的性生活真是乏善可陳。說來也是,清朝乃中國特色的中央集權製度發展之巔峰,思想鉗製、文字獄、書籍禁毀,不...
評分本書不足之處。。。 “1·作者幾乎完全沒有論述中國原始社會的性問題,原始社會占人類曆史的絕大部分,原始初民的性生活對後世有很大影響; 2·資料性很強但是理論性不足,掌握中國曆史發展的脈絡很不夠; 3·缺乏當時的有關新材料,比如70年代初發掘的馬王堆漢墓,其填補瞭性...
