The Culture of Sex in Ancient ChinaUniversity of Hawaii Press, 2001年10月31日 - 544 頁 The subject of sex was central to early Chinese thought. Discussed openly and seriously as a fundamental topic of human speculation, it was an important source of imagery and terminology that informed the classical Chinese conception of social and political relationships.
