Doesn't this idea in the West come from the notion that your heart was what controlled your body and actions, not your brain? Which is kind of silly, but it's not like medieval doctors knew any better.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Chinese or Japanese came to the same conclusion.

Not really. Emotions often come in the feeling of pain or tension in the chest. The heart is also an organ that is clearly responsible for life (pumps blood, center of body, beats) and was recognized as such in its conception as a "flame of life".

I mean, really, who would have thought that the intangible human experience was actually caused by ridiculously fast chains of electrical activity in the brain? Before modern science, the heart seemed like the location emotions come from; even today we still use the term figuratively in that manner. It's also much more romantic.

>> No.11002144

Why do Japan use the term guts or stomach to mean like inner strength or something?

Like here we'd say "put your back into it" or something, but they'd say like "put your stomach/guts into it" or something

>> No.11002156

>>11002104
There was also the rational-emotional dichotomy.

Conscious and rational though came from the head. Unconscious and emotions came from that organ that your consciousness seems to have no control over.

>> No.11002164

>>11002144
Probably stems from the fluttery sensation in the stomach that is triggered during high anxiety fight or flight scenarios.

There's actually similar equivalents in English with words like "gutsy". It's always interesting how similar this type of thing is even between isolated cultures.
