    SUI DYNASTY 125 (@) Tai-ching-ching. This is the T'ai ch'ing-shén-chien, a famous old handbook of physiognomy.

These works are only quoted in a limited number of citations. Below is a translation of the Tung-hsilartatl. A perusal of this text will give the reader an idea of style and content of the ancient Chinese handbooks of sex. THE ARS AMATORIA OF MASTER TUNG-HSUAN I “Master Tung-hstian said: Of al the ten thousand things created by Heaven, man is the most precious. Of all things that make man prosper none can be compared to sexual intercourse. It is modeled after Heaven and takes its pattern by Earth, it regulates Yin and rules Yang. Those who understand its Significance can nurture their nature and prolong their years; those who miss its true meaning will harm themselves and die before their time. 0 “Now the methods of sexual intercourse as taught by the Dark Girl have been transmitted since antiquity; but they give only a general survey of this subject, they do not exhaust its subtle mysteries. When contemplating ‘these prescriptions I often thought of supplementing their lacunae. Gathering ‘esages and established manners I now have compiled this new handbook. Although it does not give all finer nuances, I yet hope that it contains the ‘eSentials. The various ways of sitting and lying together; the postures of stretching and opening the legs; the diverse ways of adjusting the body, and ‘the methods for deep and shallow penetration, all these comprise the Reason ef the sexual union and supply the Rhythm of the five elements. Those who Jet themselves be guided by these rules will attain longevity. Those who act eontrary to them will come to harm and perish. How should that which is ‘ef advantage to all not be transmitted for ten thousand generations ? 1 “Master Tung-hsiian said: Truly Heaven revolves to the left and Earth ‘sevolves to the right. Thus the four seasons succeed each other, man calls and ‘seoman follows, above there is action and below compliance; this is the natural 126 ‘THE HEYDAY OF EMPIRE ‘order of all things. If the man moves and the woman does not respond, or if the woman is roused and the man does not comply, then the sexual act will not only injure the man but also harm the woman, for this runs counter to the established relation between Yin and Yang. If they unite themselves im such a way neither of the partners to the act will derive benefit from it. ‘Therefore, man and woman must move according to their cosmic orientation, the man should thrust from above and the woman receive below. If they unite in this way, it can be called Heaven and Earth in even balance Iv ‘Deep and shallow, slow and quick, straight and slanting thrusts, all these are by no means uniform, each has its own characteristics. A slow thrust should resemble the movement of a carp caught on the hook; a quick thrust should resemble the flight of birds against the wind. Inserting and withdraw- ing, moving up and down and from left to right, interspaced by intervals or in quick succession, all these movements should be properly correlated. One must apply each of them at the proper time and not always stubbornly cling to one style alone to serve one’s convenience. v “When a man and a woman have intercourse for the first time, the man should sit down at the woman's left side and the woman should sit on the man’s right. Then the man crosses his legs and places the woman in his lap. He presses her slender waist, he caresses her precious body, he whispers endearing words and engages in passionate discourse. Both being of the same mind, they hug and embrace—their bodies close together and their lips pressed against each other. The man sucks the woman's lower lip, the woman sucks the man’s upper lip. They kiss each other, feeding on each other's saliva. Or the man softly bites the woman’s tongue or gnaws her lips a little, places her head in his hands and pinches her ears. Thus patting and kissing a thousand charms will unfold and the hundred sorrows will be forgotten. Tum vir mulie= rem adducet ut leva manu Caulem suum iaspium (‘jade’) teneat, cum ipse dextra Portam illus iaspium fricet. Quo facto vim illius Yin experietur Caulisque eius iaspius surget—stabit rigidus sublime eminens similisque solitario montis vertici qui in lacteum orbem arduus attollitur. Mulier autem vim illius Yang experietur et rima cinnabarina largo humoris profluvio madescet, solitario aquarum fonti similis qui in valle oritur demissa. This is the spontancous reaction of Yin and Yang which can never be achieved hy artificial means. As coon as the pair has reached this stage they are in a Sut DYNASTY 137 ‘condition fit for uniting with each other. Viri membrum si surgere nolit aut mulieris vagina madescere si mequeat, ea indicia sunt exteriora interioris alicuius aegritudinis. vI “faster Tung-hsiian said: When a man and a woman have sexual inter- ‘course they should always begin by sitting as described above and only there- after lie down together, the woman on the left and the man on the right.

Retrahere enim languidum cum viro noceat, ne ullo modo id faciat, vir anxie curet. Ix “Master Tung-hstian said: A careful investigation has shown that there are but thirty main positions for consummating the sexual union. With the exception of minor details these various positions and diverse movements are fundamentally the same and can be said to encompass all possibilities. I describe these positions here and record their special names, I depict their features and establish their sequence. The understanding reader will be able to probe their wonderful meaning to its very depth. X. Close Union. 2. Firm Attachment. 3. Exposed Gills. 4. The Unicorn's Horn. ‘Next to these four basic positions there are the following playful variations. ‘5. Reeling-off Silk.
