In Arranged Companions, historian Weijing Lu chronicles how marital behaviors during the early and High Qing (mid-seventeenth through mid-nineteenth centuries) were informed by rich and complex traditions and mediated by the historical conditions of the period, during which marital affection was celebrated as a basic ingredient of an ideal marriage. Lu finds public representation and private communication of marital affection in personal records, including poetry, biographies, letters, and memoirs. During this unique historical moment, ideals of marital companionship and love came to fruition while social changes also created new tensions for couples and extended families. Offering surprising revelations about conjugal relations during this time of change, Arranged Companions raises provocative questions about the cultural construction of intimacy and the meaning of a "happy marriage.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $z China $x History. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Qing dynasty, 1644-1912. 650 7 $a Arranged marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815057 650 7 $a Qing Dynasty (China) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01696773 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 1644-1912 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lu, Weijing. $t Arranged companions $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, [2021] $z 9780295749136 $w (DLC) 2020056571 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=249BC81E78F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
