Peach Blossom Pavilion is about the last Chinese courtesan. These artistic women were originally called Yiji, meaning music performer and later called mingji which means prestigious prostitute, Chinese courtesans were the predecessors of their Japanese counterparts. ("Geisha" is the Japanese pronunciation of the same word in Chinese.) Since most people only know about the Japanese Geisha, especially through Arthur Goldsmith's widely enjoyed novel, Memoir of a Geisha, I decided to write about the Chinese Geisha phenomenon, so that people in the West will learn about the original form of this fascinating, yet hauntingly sad, way of life.
