Traditional Chinese society, then, has always placed a high premium on poetry; beyond diplomatic skill, poetry ... was considered a social grace, at least among the elite.

When built, the garden will be one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China. Designed and built in conjunction with architects and artisans from Seattle and its sister city, Chongqing, the garden will be the first in the United States to authentically represent the Sichuan style. The Garden will feature Sichuan horticulture and the massive rock formations inspired by China’s Yangtze River gorges. Where possible, its formal halls and pavilions will be fabricated in Chongqing using traditional materials and methods, and skilled artisans from China will supervise their installation in Seattle.

The “phantom heroine”—in particular the fantasy of her resurrection through sex with a living man—is one of the most striking features of traditional Chinese literature. Even today the hypersexual female ghost continues to be a source of fascination in East Asian media, much like the sexually predatory vampire in American and European movies, TV, and novels. But while vampires can be of either gender, erotic Chinese ghosts are almost exclusively female. The significance of this gender asymmetry in Chinese literary history is the subject of Judith Zeitlin’s elegantly written and meticulously researched new book.
