  Jin Ping Mei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jin Ping Mei (Chinese: 金瓶梅; pinyin: Jīn Píngméi; literally "The Plum in the Golden Vase", also translated as The Golden Lotus) is a Chinese naturalistic novel composed in the vernacular (baihua) during the late Ming Dynasty, attributed to Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng.
Jin Ping Mei is sometimes considered to be the fifth classical novel after the Four Great Classical Novels.
Jin Ping Mei takes its name from the three central female characters — Pan Jinlian (whose name means "Golden Lotus"); Li Ping-Er, a concubine of Ximen Qing; and Peng Chunmei, a maid who rose to power within the family.

 Chinese Classic Novel: Jin Ping Mei (Gold, Vase, Plum)
Jin Ping Mei (Chin Ping Mei, The Golden Lotus) is a classic novel of Ming dynasty China.
The title, Jin Ping Mei (Gold, Vase, Plum), is taken from the surnames of three concubines of a political parvenu named Ximen Qing, the major character.
Jin Ping Mei was treated as a book of pornography, Buddhist morality, naturalism or a novel of manners.

And while the Jin Ping Mei is considered one of the most stylistically advanced novels to have appeared in the Chinese language, the Ruyijun zhuan has never been celebrated for the subtlety of its rhetorical technique.
Ultimately, the author of the Jin Ping Mei relied upon the Ruyijun zhuan for one of his most subtle and effective techniques, the source in turn of the novel’s characteristic layered textual denseness.
The set of 200 woodblock-printed illustrations to Jin Ping Mei which accompany the late Ming (Chongzhen era) edition is well known from reprints and from David Roy’s translation-in-progress.

 Intersections Review: Ding Naifei, Obscene Things: Sexual Politics in 'Jin Ping Mei'
Jin Ping Mei has loomed large in the Chinese psyche for centuries and literary critiques of its significance are legion.
We explore with Ding detail of these powerful literary paradigms as they are mobilized within the misogyny of Jin Ping Mei as well as their variants within other classical novels.
In particular, Ding draws close connection between narratives of 'violence and seduction' as twin motifs linking Jin Ping Mei and The Water Margin—a chapter from the latter novel formed the origins of the former.

Jin Ping Mei was for long considered a pornographic work.
Jin Ping Mei first appeared in manuscript form in the early 17th century.
Jin Ping Mei's author need not have experienced all these sexual situations himself, this ancient commentator argued, because the mind of a genius can create such things simply by using his imagination.

The Jin, Ping and Mei in the title are the later three wives, and the most interesting ones for our purposes.
One of those later spouses, whose name translates as Golden Lotus, is a character from the classic "Outlaws of the Marsh," delightful woman lady who poisons her ugly, smelly, not-getting-it-done first husband to marry the libertine Hsi Men, and is punished for this crime by the tiger-slaying, heroic brother of husband one.
In Jin Ping Mei, Hsi Men is able to take advantage of the corrupt regime and have that heroic brother sent far, far away, while he continues to enjoy his wives and lifestyle.

 EastSouthWestNorth: My Dad Is Worse Than Ximen Qing
Although Wang Jin has never seen Li Cuilian, she determined from her mother's description and various other clues, that "her father must have an improper relationship with this Li Cuilian." That was the woman who destroyed her wonderful family.
In the complaint, Wang Jin strongly demanded that the Central Disciplinary Committee follow articles 150, 152 and 154 in the "Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Punishment Regulations" to investigate her father and expel him from the party.
The poll that Wang Jin put on the front page showed almost 200,000 votes, of which 49.49% thinks that "Wang Zhihua should be expelled from the Party," 39.39% "completely support" Wang Jin, 9.9% "support" her and only 0.19% "do not support" her.

Since its appearance, printing and circulation in the Jiangnan region in the last decades of the Ming (1368-1644), Jin Ping Mei has set in endlessly recyclable (reprintable and filmable) narrative form a myth of vampiric female sexuality.
Just as female sexuality (vis-à-vis male household heads and polygamous family organizations) in and through Jin Ping Mei signify the death of the man and his family, so too does Jin Ping Mei the text become a contaminating book, spreading with its printing and circulation the very sexual dangers it purports to warn against.
In juxtaposing the market and prefacing politics of these two cultural texts on differently deviant female sexualities, I shall examine how representations of female sexualities continue to be problematized, constructed as open secrets, amidst changing historical configurations.

He was famous for his slaying of the tiger with bare hands, and his avenging the murder of his older brother.
While Jin Pei Mei is famous in its pornographic content, there is nothing sexual about Wu Song in the novel.
The Wu Song story is probably the only one that has been remade many times in Chinese media, due to the fact that adultery in China was/is a serious offence (and a huge dishonour to the family).

As in the case of Shakespeare, even now it is difficult to ascertain the details of the lives of the four geniuses who wrote China’s greatest novels, Journey to the West, Water Margin, Jin Ping Mei and Dream of Red Mansions.
All that remains is an autobiographical essay by Shi Naian and had he not as he said consoled himself by writing, how else could he have devoted the rest of his life to that huge work for which he received no recompense during life?
