In her confident and far-reaching book, The Poetics and Politics of Sensuality in China: The "Fragrant and Bedazzling" Movement (-), Professor Li proves that authors of sensual, erotic poetry-known as xiangyan 香豔 (or xianglian 香戀) poetry-were dedicated troublemakers, contentious and self-aware, promoting their work and their

IN this article, however, Victoria Cass argues that the novel is, in fact, carefully structured around the image of the Lantern Festival. The nighttime holiday occurs multiple times in the novel and conveys the larger narrative of anti-structure, disorder, and release. Each appearance of the holiday encodes a logical progression, marking important changes in the text, inserting overall structure and meaning to the novel. Cass bases her characterization on the use of the holiday in the novel, as well as on the characterization of the Lantern Festival in Ming journals, poetry and private historiography.
