	Robert van Gulik's Judge Dee Stories
		Van Gulik challenges this gratuitous optimism - an Empire maintained itself with no internal challenge (Emperors changed and were overthrown but imperial rule continued), accepted by its people and by its administrators and literati.
		Van Gulik's historical, detective stories show the same sort of challenge that Darko Suvin said were the qualities of generic SF but show them in ways other than those identified by Suvin.
		Van Gulik's stories are not biographical, although many of the crimes he describes appeared in various Chinese texts.

	Judge Dee
		Van Gulik's stories, however, were completely fictional in filling in the details of Judge Dee's life, cases, official positions, family, etc. They were also deliberately anachronistic in using Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) clothing, customs, and culture in describing events in the T'ang Dynasty, seven hundred years earlier.
		Van Gulik evidently rewrote the three books slightly for the editions in English, since there is a reference in the Maze Murders to the Bell Murders and a reference in the Bell Murders to the Lake Murders, even though the latter books were written subsequent, not prior, to the former ones.
		Gulik subsequently wrote only two more books, Necklace and Calabash (1967) and Poets and Murder (1968), which have been placed in the appropriate period, though it is not clear exactly where van Gulik himself would have fit them into the sequence of the other stories.

	"Judge Dee" (1969) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		These stories have been described by Julian Symons in his history of the crime novel ("Bloody Murder") as "simply curiosities" but this greatly underplays their charm and interest, set as they are in T'ang Dynasty China (but using the anachronistic trappings of the Ming Dynasty some seven or eight hundred years later).
		Gulik drew upon traditional Chinese detective stories and wove his tales around a character who really existed: Ti Jen-chieh (or Di Renjie).
		Judge Dee rose to high office in the empire, but in the early part of his career he was a district magistrate, dispensing justice and investigating crimes: it is at this period of his career that most of Gulik's stories and this TV series are set.

		van Gulik himself brought out a scientific English edition, from this Chinees writing under the tittle: 'Parallel cases from under the pear-tree'.
		van Gulik writes a detective-novel worthy to the tradition of the great writers of this genre - something to which it would have failed me on plain ingenouty, cool sensible calculation and the spiritual stamina.
		Furthermore Van Guliks books are doubtless free of failures - After all he was a sinoloog and expert on the old China without compare.

		In particular, Furth points out that Van Gulik sees sexuality as a unique component of human life, separate from reproductivity or any other social function, deals with China itself in an ahistorical fashion, and seeks to find in China positive aspects of sexuality that he feels are lacking in the West.
		Her quoted excerpts prove her points about Van Gulik's misrepresentations well, although they don't necessarily tie into her later assertion that this gives women value in terms of their reproductive functions or repudiate the assumption that the Chinese patriarchy was misogynist in its emphasis on yang.
		These certainly do reveal historical changes, but since Van Gulik never focused on this aspect of the Han dynasty texts, they are less effective than they might have been.

	Judge Dee (Robert van Gulik) - book review
		Judge Dee was a real Tang dynasty magistrate, but Gulik's novels are based on stories about him from the Ming period.
		Taking the setting and plots (and some of the literary conventions) from these stories and from other Chinese texts, and modifying them to suit Western tastes, he has created one of the more engaging detectives it has been my pleasure to encounter.
		Although enjoyable purely for their puzzle-solving element, what appeals most about the stories are their satisfyingly detailed and convincing settings: good historical novels set in China are relatively rare, so it is great that someone as knowledgeable as Gulik has turned his hand to the genre.
