Chinese Erotic Art<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Rooted in Antiquity \u2013 the first known examples of <\/em>Chinese Erotic Art<\/strong><\/a> and texts date back over two thousand years \u2013 erotic art is an integral part of China\u2019s cultural heritage. Erotic art reached its apogee concurrently with the rise of the rich mercantile cities of southern China from the 10th century on, when Suchow, Hangchow, and Quangchow were among the most sophisticated places in the world. Its heyday was in the late Ming period (1368-1644), a time when artists signed their works without fear of reprisal from the censors, and government policy promoted the development of art and science. The paintings and drawings were made under the pretext of providing instruction for shy or inexperienced young people.<\/em> Sure not shy after seeing this example!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
