What is love? Is Love natural or social? Is love personal or universal? Why is love?

This course offers an inquiry into the rich Chinese tradition of literary narrative on love/passion so as to guide students to develop a deeper understanding of the above questions/intellectual debates. By probing the cultural, religious, gender, and sociological significance of various Chinese love stories, this course sketches a historiographical contour of Chinese people’s romantic emotion as it is continuously experienced, expressed, and imagined in literary and artistic productions.
