Love and Emotions in Traditional Chinese Literature
Abstract
Do all cultures and historical periods have a concept corresponding to the English word emotion? This collection of essays is concerned with the closest candidate within the Chinese language, namely the term qíng. What is the meaning of this term in different periods and genres? What are the types of discourse in which it is typically found? This volume contains two essays on the notion of qíng in classical sources, two on Chan Buddhist usage, and two on fiction and drama from the Ming and Qing dynasties. An introductory essay discusses the complex historical development of the term. Together, the essays may be read as a first step towards a conceptual history of one of the key terms in traditional Chinese culture.

“One of the most influential features of Yuanmiao's presentation of kanhwa Sŏn training was to systematise its principal constituents into what he termed the 'three essentials' (Ch. sanyao /Kor samyo 三要 ): 1) the 'faculty of great faith' (Ch. daxin'gen/ Kor. taesin'gŭn 大信根 ); 2) 'great fury' , or perhaps 'great passionate intent' (Ch. dafenzhi /Kor. taebunji 大憤志 ); and 3) the 'great sensation of do”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
