Xiuta yeshi, translated into English as The Embroidered Couch,[a] is a Chinese erotic novel composed during the late Ming dynasty by playwright Lü Tiancheng (呂天成) under various pseudonyms. Believed to be one of the oldest Chinese erotic novels, Xiuta yeshi was first published at around the same time as Jin Ping Mei (The Golden Lotus). It has been constantly banned or censored since then, especially during the Qing dynasty. Literary critics have drawn attention to its obscenity and vivid descriptions of sex. A complete English translation by Lenny Hu was published in 2001.
