Abstract:
Confucian culture regards emotion as the manifestation of human nature and on this basis hasconstructed its unique emotional wisdom characterized by self-cultivation of virtue and morality,goodunderstanding of others’ minds and empowerment with free will. From the perspective of psychologicalmechanism formed by the cultural tradition and in combination with the current theoretical and empiricalstudies in psychology,this paper analyzes how such psychological mechanisms as impact-focus to emotions,weak cognitive control,relational cognition,emotional refinement,and emotional creation help achieve theemotional goals pursued by Confucian culture. The emotional wisdom embedded in Confucian culture canplay a significant role in deepening our understanding of emotion and solving the problems faced by the currentpsychological studies that take emotion as the psychological reaction which should be controlled or eliminatedby our cognition.
