 Xunzi’s naturalistic and psychological approach, however, does not imply that emotions are just subjective feelings and the mind is only amoral or immoral. The genuineness of emotion is still important in Xunzi’s moral psychology, as in Confucius’s and Mencius’s. Xunzi discusses, for example, why it is important to pay full respect to deceased people with loyalty, generosity and the full decoration of coffins. He explains that people have genuine feelings for deceased people because treating life and death with one and the same care is what people all wish for (Xunzi, 19.17; Hutton 2014: 207). He also explains how genuine emotions can be cultivated through the affective transformation. According to him, emotional genuineness can be developed through various means of social and cultural activities such as ritual and music because affective states, through careful adjustment and modification, can be enriched and refined to become sincere states of the mind. For example, people find joy in music with their deep and affective resonance with musical performance. Xunzi states that “Sounds and music enter into people deeply and transform people quickly” (Xunzi, 20.5; Hutton 2014: 219). Even though emotions are influenced by the natural disposition of yu, they can transform the heart-mind to follow the way of the sages through the process of responsive refinement in music and ritual. Xunzi’s philosophy shows this developmental and transformative nature of emotions.
