Abstract

This examination of music and masculinities in late Ming China (1572–1644), a turbulent time in Chinese history, consists of two parts. The first part introduces late Ming China, its masculine ideals and practices, and proposes a heuristic framework for analyzing available data; the second part employs the framework to analyze a selection of representative late Ming texts and visuals that illustrate music and masculinity negotiations of the time.
