Research on the Concept of Resentment in Ancient China: Focusing on the Books of Pre-qin and Han Dynasties
by Zhang Lei
About This Novel
Resentment is a depressed state of frustration after the subject is stimulated by an object. Resentment generated when the subject actively searches for stimulation is self-generated resentment, while resentment generated when the object actively exerts stimulation is other-generated resentment. The starting point of self-generated resentment is the subject's own desires, which mainly include dignity desire, value desire, emotional desire, and interest desire; the starting point of other-generated resentment is the harm caused by the object to the subject, which mainly includes dignity harm, value harm, emotional harm, and benefit harm. Ancient Chinese books, represented by the Book of Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, have many discussions on the logic of resentment, conceptual basis, normative principles, ways of experiencing, elimination methods, control measures, adjustment strategies, guidance and treatment methods, forming the far-reaching "Ancient Chinese View of Resentment."
