Masculinities in Chinese History is the first historical survey of
the many ways men have acted, thought, and behaved throughout
China's long past. Bret Hinsch introduces readers to the basic
characteristics of historical Chinese masculinity while
highlighting the dynamic changes in male identity over the
centuries. He covers the full span of Chinese history, from the
Zhou dynasty in distant antiquity up to the current era of
disorienting rapid change. Each chapter, focused on a specific
theme and period, is organized to introduce key topics, such as
differences between the sexes and the mutual influence of ideas
regarding manhood and womanhood, masculine honor, how masculine
ideals change, the use of high culture to bolster masculine
reputation among the elite, and male role models from the margins
of society. The author concludes by exploring how capitalism,
imperialism, modernization, revolution, and reform have rapidly
transformed ideas about what it means to be a man in contemporary
China.
