      Old Chinese Criteria
      Notions like "process", "development", "evolution", as opposed to "change", "transformation" are not current in ancient Chinese thought. In particular there is no word for "history". Gǔ shì 古事 is not current in ancient texts, and the combination gù shì 故事 is common, but it never belongs together, gù 故 always meaning "therefore".

      1. The current word for an event is shì 事.
