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
