Rom these passages, can you identify chinese precedents in terms of place names and historical personages, allusions to chinese literary works, and attitudes toward gender or social organization that can be traced to chinese models

The passage is based on the article: Literature as a mirror of exchanges between civilized centers.

In the text, some personages were mentioned and pretty much made allusions to chinise literary work, such as Yang kuei fei and Chung tru-chu.

Both passages had been written for a feudal society scenario, where women had no choice over their fate. The personages, Kieu and Genji shows it, were compared with chinese characters above.  Both personages were carrying a burden due to their role in society. Women were located in a under level of the society in China, and they would have to fulfill their fate. In the phrase "Kieu, your karma's still undone. How can you shirk of debt of grief to fate. You yet have to play out your women's role".

idk if you found them already or not but you probably did but the one closer to sea level is raleigh.
