   Extractions: Judge Dee (630-700) The first I ever heard of Judge Dee was from a TV movie I saw when I was living in Hawaii in 1974, Judge Dee and the Monastery Murders . This starred Khigh Dhiegh in the title role and was intended as the pilot for a TV series. The series was called Khan , but it moved Khigh Dhiegh from the T'ang Dynasty to the present. It was not about Judge Dee. Neither was it successful. I did not realize until two or three years later, when I started finding Judge Dee books in Austin, that the TV movie was based on The Haunted Monastery , one of many Judge Dee stories by the Dutch diplomat and scholar, Robert van Gulik In the course of his research, and then while working at diplomatic posts in Japan and China before and during World War II, van Gulik had gotten interested in the long tradition of Chinese detective and crime literature, the existence of which most Westerners were and probably are unaware. Many people even in China and Japan, however, were also unaware of the literature, since it was no longer being produced. Thus, after the war, van Gulik sought first of all to bring its existence to the notice of both Eastern and Western audiences; and he hoped to inspire Chinese and Japanese writers to revive the tradition, rather than just imitate or translate Western detective stories. His first effort in that direction was to translate and publish in 1949 one of the old stories, the

   Brief biography and reviews of the Judge Dee novels.  
   http://www.wjduquette.com/authors/rvgulik.html
   
   Extractions: Home Ex Libris Authors : Robert van Gulik beware the wisdom of the magistrate Have you seen our weblog or our monthly book review? Robert van Gulik was a Dutch diplomat and Sinophile. While stationed in China he became acquainted with the rich tradition of the Chinese detective novel, which goes back to the Ming dynasty. Chinese detective novels almost always star a district magistrate, who is detective, judge, and jury all-in-one; during the course of the novel, the magistrate usually solves three unrelated cases. The magistrate is always clever, wise, and just. Most of the Chinese novels he read he judged unsuitable for Western readers of detective fiction, in that the magistrate leaned too heavily on intuition or evidence from ghosts or omens to solve his cases. He found one in particular, though, which he thought would be of great interest: the Dee Goong An . He translated it; it is published in this country as Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee . Later, he decided to try writing his own stories in the same style, drawing plots from the full body of Chinese detective fiction, and holding Judge Dee to a stricter, more rational approach to detection. His first efforts were successful, and he went on to write many novels about the Judge. The novels are set in the days of the Tang dynasty, as were his Ming dynasty models; and like those models, the dress and social customs portrayed belong properly to the Ming era rather than the Tang.

10. Colin Glassey On Robert Van Gulik
    The author, robert van gulik was in fact an historian and an expert on Chinese culture. So these stories are true in several important ways.  
    http://www.teleologic.com/crghome/vangulik.html
    
    Extractions: Last updated September, 1998 I admit up front that these novels, the Judge Dee mysteries , are not really fantasy. The author, Robert Van Gulik was in fact an historian and an expert on Chinese culture. So these stories are true in several important ways. However, it is also true that all the events take place more than 1300 years ago, contain occasional fantastic elements, and are largely inventions of the author. As a result, these books are more accurately labeled as historical mysteries . Not having such a narrow category, I place them here. On the face of it, it is hard to think of a topic more remote from the Internet circa 2000 CE (common era) than pseudo Chinese mystery stories set in the T'ang dynasty. However, I find a number of elements that make these stories well worth the time it takes to read them. First, these mysteries are set within the context of a broad swath of Chinese society. Through these stories pass people as humble as street beggars, and as exalted as the Emperor's daughter. There are many different trades and social positions which Europeans may find curious and interesting. The author was quite interested in the sexual side of Chinese culture and so prostitutes and concubines tend to show up with some frequency. Curiously, the main character, Judge Dee, is a man of impeccable morals and never does anything more than look at the beautiful women who throw themselves on him in various stages of undress. However, the other characters in the stories are considerably less noble.

14. Judge Dee (Robert Van Gulik) - Book Review
    Judge Dee was a real Tang dynasty magistrate, but gulik s novels are based on stories about him from the Ming period  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Judge_Dee.html
    
    Extractions: The Chinese Gold Murders The University of Chicago Press 1977, Penguin 1962 A book review by Danny Yee Judge Dee was a real Tang dynasty magistrate, but Gulik's novels are based on stories about him from the Ming period. Taking the setting and plots (and some of the literary conventions) from these stories and from other Chinese texts, and modifying them to suit Western tastes, he has created one of the more engaging detectives it has been my pleasure to encounter. Although enjoyable purely for their puzzle-solving element, what appeals most about the stories are their satisfyingly detailed and convincing settings: good historical novels set in China are relatively rare, so it is great that someone as knowledgeable as Gulik has turned his hand to the genre. Each novel has a short postscript explaining the sources used and some of the cultural background. The Chinese Gold Murders is set at the beginning of Judge Dee's career as a district magistrate (an official responsible for catching criminals as well as sentencing them).

In 1941 Dutch diplomat Robert Hans van Gulik (1910 - 1967) published Lore of the Chinese Lute , still (via the revised edition of 1969) the primary published English language source for guqin history and ideology. Here are two discussions of his qin play and his studies with Ye Shimeng. From a book by fellow diplomat Chen Zhimai. Music has always been a favourite pastime of the Chinese scholar-official. During his first sojourn in Japan (1935-42), Dr. van Gulik became interested in the guqin , a zither-type stringed instrument dating back to remote antiquity. He dug deep into the literature on the subject and learned to play it under the instruction of a Chinese teacher. His first serious book, The Lore of the Chinese Lute , was published by Sophia University in Tokyo in 1940. When I first knew him, he was already a master of the instrument. It was his habit to carry the guqin , a rather clumsy thing, to various social functions in Chungking, and when the dinner was over, to play a few tunes for his friends' entertainment.
