This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Tang Xianzu's kunqu opera The Peony Pavilion, or 牡丹亭 (Mǔdāntíng), was Ming-dynasty China's answer to Romeo and Juliet. A lyrical celebration of romance that premiered in 1598, it ignited the Chinese equivalent of the Romantic movement-- the cult of qing, or sensibility. It also spawned an outpouring of Fan Art, Fan Fiction, and Fan Wank in the form of readers' commentaries, making these behaviors Older Than Steam. Crazed Fan Girls were said to offer themselves up to Tang on a regular basis, while the odd Fan Boy busied himself painting miniatures of the play's winsome young heroine to sell for cheap. |
