	Vernacular Chinese
		In Ming and Qing dynasties, vernacular Chinese began to be used in novels.
		Jin Shengtan, who edited several novels in vernacular Chinese, is widely regarded as the champion of literature in the vernacular style.
		However, it was not until after the May Fourth Movement and the promotion by scholars -- like Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Chen Duxiou, and Qian Xuantong -- that the vernacular language gained importance and became viewed as mainstream by most people.

		And it is precisely as a political lesson highly relevant to their historical moment that both Li Zhi and Jin Shengtan advocated this fiction as a must-read.
		Jin's views are directed toward youth and posterity; not the ruler nor officials of the state.
		In speaking to posterity, Jin envisions his role as that of transmitter, guardian, tutor and author, all at once, and the future as one whose center and borders are not so much geographic, nor primarily political, but in the heart.

		Complicating any idea of unitary self-representation, Sally Church will examine Jin Shengtan’s critical moves between text and self in his commentary to the drama Xixiangji, in which are embedded much self-referential discourse and cross-generic excesses, and from which an author-commentator emerges.
		Jin Shengtan often begins his comments on the drama Xixiangji by talking about the text but he ends by talking about himself.
		He moves from the perspective of the characters developed in the text to an imagined perspective of the author, and finally to his own perspective of relative detachment from the confines of the text.

	Literary Chinese Viewed in the Light of Literary Latin
		This language, which the scholar-officials apparently acquired informally rather than as a part of their earlier schooling, could then be used for oral communication with officials from other parts of the empire, as well as with local subordinates, who learned enough on the job to get by.
		Beginning in the Jin 金 and Yuan dynasties in the North (twelfth-fourteenth centuries) and continuing through the Ming and Qing 清 (1644-1911) dynasties, this oral lingua franca was in phonology and grammar based on the northern Mandarin dialect of Beijing (Peking), which was then the capital.
		From about the end of the Ming it was called guanhua 官话 ("officials' speech") since, although many of the growing number of itinerant merchants also acquired the language as they needed it on their travels, the major source of interest was still among those officials born and raised in the provinces.

	XVth EACS-Conference - Abstracts - Section B: Literature (classical and modern)
		Jin’s unorthodox championing of the vernacular text is most often understood as an iconoclastic embrace of the popularization of written culture that took place during the late-Ming.
		Whereas a vulgar reader would simply be mesmerized by the illusory verisimilitude of the text, accepting the acoustic spectacle of the storyteller’s voice as reality, the literati reader could distinguish himself by recognizing the fundamental illusion of fiction, instead appreciating the marvelous, written technique upon which the illusion of acoustic liveliness was based.
		By emphasizing the importance of acoustic spectacle in Jin Shengtan’s commentary, I not only seek to place this seminal vernacular text in its late-Ming print-cultural context, I also aim to balance the recent scholarly interest in visuality with a discussion of the acoustic aspects of late-imperial vernacular culture.

		Jin Shengtan was a highly learned man from the end of the Ming and beginning of the Qing Dynasty (1636 - 1912 A.D.).

		Later, he was imprisoned for the things he wrote and he suffered the horrible punishment of being cut in half at the waist with the top of his body grilled over a fire.

	WALE A LEID, WALE A WARLD
		Jin took hold of the Mossflow, which had been circulating in editions of varying lengths, and re-edited it, cutting it down to a mere 70 chapters and a prologue.
		Slowly disillusion sets in until, under Jin Shengtan's guidance, the discerning reader begins to see that these people have become as ruthless and as morally corrupt as the government they set out to reform.
		Jin, by pruning away the final chapters and ending the book with a dream of retribution at a climactic moment when all the 108 heroes are gathered together, lets the reader make up his own mind: this version is morally ambiguous.

		It is replete with copious pornographic sexual interludes that ultimately warn of the dangers of women's sexuality and of excessive uncontrolled sexual activity.
		Jin Ping Mei has loomed large in the Chinese psyche for centuries and literary critiques of its significance are legion.
		This important overview of the study of the novel is crucial to a book that aims to 'challenge earlier scholarship' and 'intervene in conventional readings of the novel'.

		Although south Jiangsu was eventually the base for the kingdom of Wu (one of the Three Kingdoms from 222 to 280), it did not become significant role until the invasion of northern nomads during the Western Jin Dynasty, starting from the 4th century.
		Today south Jiangsu remains one of the richest parts of China, and Shanghai, arguably the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan of mainland China cities, is a direct extension of south Jiangsu culture.
		The Jurchen Jin Dynasty gained control of North China in 1127, and the river Huai He, which used to cut through north Jiangsu to reach the Yellow Sea, was the border between the north, under the Jin, and the south, under the Southern Song Dynasty.

		As for Jin Sheng Tan, he was a famous scholar and critic in Qing dynasty.I once mentioned him on my post (http://www.song-li.com/index.php?p=20) but forgot writing about his "taste of ham"---"if you have some peanuts while eating the spiced dried bean curd, you'll find it tastes as delicious as ham".
		By the way, I found it long time ago (and discovered the peanuts means the raw peanuts are boiled in the salt water), nobody trusted me though...
		I'm rather uninformed about these people from the past who everyone else seems to know, and couldn't find out who he was from a google search.
