Most prolific Chinese writers
In the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 25-220), a group of Taoist philosophers created Yin
Taoism, firmly rooted
in the importance of human sexual expression. This school of Taoists wrote volume after
volume of sex manuals
including "Su Nu Ching" (Manual of Lady Purity), "Yu Fang Mi
Chueh" (Secret Codes of the Jade Room) the
"Art of the Bedchamber" and "Yu Fang Chih Yao" (Important Guidelines of the
Jade Room). To give their works
authority and to exert influence on the emperors the Yin Taoists attributed the key points in
their manuals to
Huang Ti (the Yellow Emperor) and the ancient authority Peng Tsu who was said to have
lived to 800 years of
age.
