ARTICLES RELATED TO Homosexuality in China - Modern China | | | |  Homosexuality in China - Modern China: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality in China - Modern ChinaHomosexuality went underground after the formation of the People's Republic of China.

| | | | Homosexuality in China - Modern China: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality in China - Ancient China Homosexuality has been documented in China since ancient times. According the scholar Ji Yun of the Qing Dynasty, already at the very beginning Huang Di (The Yellow Emperor, 2697? - 2597? BCE), legendary king and founder of the Chinese culture, had male lovers. This is naturally not very trustworthy because whether there was really a person called Huang Di is not very clear. Two notable royal examples come from a formulaic expression, yútáo duànxiù (余桃断袖).

| | | | Homosexuality in China - Modern China: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality in China - Traditional views towards homosexuality in China's society All major religions in ancient China do have some sort of codex, which have traditionally been interpreted as being against exclusive homosexuality when it interferes with continuation of the family lineage. For example the Confucians has the codex that a man should behave according to somewhat traditional male gender roles and a woman likewise.

There were some historical accounts of emperors who used to dress themselves in women's clothes, and this wa ...

| | | | Homosexuality in China - Modern China: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality in China - Same-sex love in literature Another remarkable thing is the prominence of friendship between men in the ancient Chinese culture.
