In the late Ming Dynasty, novels focusing on male eroticism began to emerge, forming a genealogy of male erotic literature. Although the whole novel“ShidianTou”discussed in this article is not exclusively about male eroticism, the fourteenth chapter ''Pan Wenzi Qihe Yuanyang Zhong'' (hereinafter as ''Pan Wenzi'') is the epitome of male erotic writings. But in different versions of the novel, ''Pan Wenzi'' was sometimes completely or partially deleted, indicating that this type of male erotic writing was feared by authorities or editors. Why are same-sex sexual behaviors and erotic tendencies, which belong to the private sphere, so closely censored by the mainstream? Are there any insidious destructive potentials and factors? And in these heretical writings, how do moral norms play a role and interfere with the progress of narration? How do heretical writings and traditional discourses not only compete with but also harmoniously intertwine with each other in the text? What kind of gender visions and cultural landscapes are brewing in such stories and narrative modes? This article starts from the narrative strategy of ''Pan Wenzi'', analyzes the contradictions and negotiations between its narrative structures and connotations, and explores the rich and diverse gender politics hidden. It also reflects on the discussion of masculinity research in the late Ming Dynasty, which used as a means to explore the form of story-telling novels. It proposes a new interpretation model for the correspondence between novel formulas, prose, and major and minor traditions. |
