        Old Chinese Criteria
        1. Surprisingly, there is only one general word for gratitude as a psychological attitude, and that is the relatively rare dé 德, a highly problematic word which much more often seems to mean "spiritual power" or "virtue" among many other things.

        NB: Gǎn 感 "be grateful" is post-Han (JIN, LU JI) and still relatively rare.

        Modern Chinese Criteria
        感恩 is the most current modern word for gratitude.

        銜恩 (lit) refers to a polite formal feeling of gratitude.

        感戴 focusses on the sincerity of the feeling of gratitude.

        感激 refers to a feeling of being grateful or indebted.
