The Plum in the Golden Vase or, Chin P'ing Mei is an anonymous sixteenth-century work that focuses on the domestic life of Hsi-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile merchant in a provincial town, who maintains a harem of six wives and concubines. The novel, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of the narrative art form-not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context.This complete and annotated translation aims to faithfully represent and elucidate all the rhetorical features of the original in its most authentic form and thereby enable the Western reader to appreciate this Chinese masterpiece at its true worth. 410 0$aPrinceton library of Asian translations. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisacsh 607 $aChina$xHistory$ySong dynasty, 960-1279$vFiction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General. 676 $a895.1346 700 $aXiaoxiaosheng$01045058 701 $aRoy$b David Tod$f1933-$01045059 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459939703321 996 $aThe plum in the golden vase, or, Chin P'ing Mei$92471027 997 $aUNINA
