      Old Chinese Criteria
      1. The general current word for jealousy of any kind, political, emotional, or sexual, is dù 妒.

      2. Jí 嫉 refers primarily to sexual jealousy and often involves strong connotations of hatred.

      3. Mào 媢 is a rare and archaic word referring to jealously in a dignified way.

      4. Jì 忌 refers to resentful jealousy or envy of someone, typically for some advantage he has. The word is thus marginal in this group.

      NB: While there are number of words for jealousy, it is hard to find any common word for envy in pre-Buddhist Chinese. See ENVY.
