Description

The novel "The Plum in the Golden Vase, or Jin Ping Mei" is the most original, enigmatic and scandalously famous of the great novels of medieval China, likely the first to have been entirely created in the 16th century by a single author, who hid behind the still-undeciphered pseudonym Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng. Unlike traditional Chinese novels, which described mythological or historical events, "Jin Ping Mei" tells of the merry life of a rascally nouveau riche, surrounded by his four wives and numerous concubines.
