The Plum in the Golden Vase
Jin Ping Mei takes its name from the three central female characters—
Pan Jinlian (潘金蓮, whose given name means "Golden Lotus");
Li Ping'er (李瓶兒, literally "Little Vase"), a concubine of Ximen Qing; and
Pang Chunmei (龐春梅, "Spring plum blossoms"), a young maid who rose to power within the family.
Jin Ping Mei is considered one of the six classics of Chinese novels.
