 It is important to note that, in Bruya’s explanation, the semantic transition or conceptual change of qing is not understood as a sudden shift of viewpoints from the external to internal dimensions of qing. Rather, it is understood as a gradual process of the integration and interpenetration of the external and internal aspects of qing via a particular form of philosophical psychology, i.e., understanding of the mind and its inner states as a resonating and interactive flow that derives from the generative and interpenetrative cosmological force.
