          Old Chinese Criteria
          1. The common noun referring to the final stage or final moment in a process is zhōng 終 (ant. shǐ 始 "beginning").

          2. Bì 畢 refers to finishing or discontinuing an action after it has achieved its aim or comes to a natural end. See also COMPLETE which is frustratingly difficult to distinguish in practice from END.

          3. Zú 卒 (ant. chū 初 "beginning") typically refers to a definitive and often abrupt end to a process which has lasted some time, but not for all the preceding time.

          4. Occasionally jìn 盡 "exhaust" is used to refer to the end of a period.
