Publication history

Chipozi zhuan was "compiled" or written by an anonymous writer using the pseudonym "Lotus Lord" (Шаблон:Lang) and edited by "Passion-Infatuated Philosopher" (Шаблон:Lang).Шаблон:Sfn It was composed in Classical ChineseШаблон:Sfn during the mid- to late sixteenth century, at about the same time that Jin Ping Mei was published.Шаблон:Sfn At just over 10,000 Chinese characters, Chipozi zhuan is technically a novella.Шаблон:Sfn Chipozi zhuan was evidently in circulation before 1612, because it is mentioned in a preface to the novel Dong Xi Jin yanyi (Шаблон:Lang; The Romance of the Eastern and Western Jin) that was published in that year.Шаблон:Sfn It was constantly banned after its publication for being a "lascivious and obscene work", and the earliest existing edition of the text dates to 1764.Шаблон:Sfn

Literary significance and reception

According to Paola Zamperini, Chipozi zhuan is "seen as one of the first pornographic sources within the history of Chinese literature".Шаблон:Sfn Alongside Ruyijun zhuan (Шаблон:Lang; The Lord of Perfect Satisfaction) and Xiuta yeshi (Шаблон:Lang; The Embroidered Couch), Chipozi zhuan is one of the three erotic works referenced in The Carnal Prayer Mat believed to have been written by Qing dynasty writer Li Yu.Шаблон:Sfn Wu Cuncun states that Chipozi zhuan "can be regarded as an early representative work in narrating a series of sexual adventures of a woman from an unexceptional and relatively modest urban household."Шаблон:Sfn The novella also uses a first-person female narrator, which is described by Zamperini as "a very rare event ... (that) breaks strikingly with both previous and later narrative modes and models."Шаблон:Sfn

Martin W. Huang writes that the novella should be considered as one of the earliest fictional works published in China to champion "feminine authority",Шаблон:Sfn in that the protagonist E'Nuo is "not only a desiring subject but ... also a speaking subject, who had the discursive power to define and interpret her own subjectivity."Шаблон:Sfn In dissent, Hoi Yan Chu argues that Chipozi zhuan "is illusory and constructed based on a male perspective"Шаблон:Sfn and whose "patriarchy implications are mainly shown in its triple denial to female desire through showing female unsuccessful attempts to actively pursue sexual pleasure, emphasizing passivity as the only way for female sexual pleasure and punishing females."Шаблон:Sfn
