• QUOTE: "...traditional Chinese medical concepts of emotions are intimately connected with the concepts of deviance, since medical writings on madness and related phenomena directly express the perception, definition and handling of excessive emotional expression. The close connection between the description of extreme emotional manifestations and madness is evidenced moreover by the fact that a great part of the classical passages cited in the Gujin tushu jicheng under the topic 'emotions' were taken from medical case-histories relating madness. This can be explained by two facts: Chinese physicians never philosophised about the nature of emotions per se; hence the compilers of the encyclopaedia selected those medical writings where emotions appeared in large numbers: emotions were of interest for the physician when they were expressed in an excessive maner or when they were restrained."
• QUOTE: "...there was no revolution in the paradigms regarding the emotions. Emotons remained –in (theoretical) definition and (practical) experience– nothing but specific qi-processes within the yin-viscera."
• QUOTE: ""
