Erotic Aspects of Chinese Culture

Erotic Aspects of Chinese Culture is a book written by Lawrence E. Gichner that explores the sexual practices and attitudes of the Chinese people throughout history. The book delves into a wide range of topics, including the role of sex in Chinese mythology, the use of aphrodisiacs, the practice of foot binding, and the erotic art of the Tang dynasty. Gichner also examines the influence of Confucianism and Taoism on Chinese sexual culture, as well as the impact of Western colonialism and modernization. The book offers a fascinating insight into a subject that has been largely ignored by Western scholarship and provides a unique perspective on Chinese history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
