Battles on Satin Sheets: Holiness, Eros, and Flesh in China
29.99 €
Ancient Chinese culture is known for its special attitude to physicality, eroticism and sex: numerous engravings, preserved to this day, depict a variety of scenes of interaction between the ancient Chinese and their partners. However, sexual practices in ancient Chinese civilization were designed to bring not only physical and aesthetic pleasure, but also spiritual benefits, inner enrichment and healing. This book contains the greatest erotic treatises of ancient China, collected and translated by the famous Russian orientalist Alexei Maslov. Using the example of rare ancient Chinese texts, the book explores the special role of sexual practices in everyday and spiritual life, their role in the broader context of culture, politics and religion, as well as the ability to heal the body, maintain longevity and even serve as a help in achieving enlightenment. The book offers a succinct introduction to the topic of Chinese erotology, as well as a commentary on each of the treatises first translated into Russian.
