 The absence of these terms in the ancient Chinese inscriptions, as Harbsmeier (2004) explains, do not imply that ancient Chinese had no conceptions of emotions or other psychological states. Nor does it mean that these terms were not used in ancient China outside the record keeping purposes of the inscriptions. It simply means that the conception and the public discourse of emotions (including writing and compiling texts with these psychological terms) had been changed and new terms had been developed in ancient China, specifically during the Warring States period. It is important to note that some of the terms in this list (such as “to be lazy” and “to be terrified”) are related to behavioral or embodied states, i.e., states that are experienced by or manifested in the body. That is, in ancient Chinese texts, the domain of the mind is not limited to the internal or representational states. It is extended to bodily states as well.
