Abstract:	In modern Chinese, yōuyù 憂鬱 and yìyù 抑鬱 unequivocally refer to depression or depressive disorders. In early China, however, the term yù 鬱more often referred to repression of environmental qi and heat, or stagnation of bodily qì and blood. When the Huángdì nèijīng (the first century BCE – the first century CE) categorised the ‘five yù’ based on the Five Phases and the Five Viscera, Zhu Zhengheng 朱震亨 (1282-1358) by contrast divided yù into six types, ranging from qi, blood, heat, damp, to phlegm and food. Both the ‘five yù’ and ‘six yù’ primarily signified bodily stagnation despite their different symptoms. When Ming-Qing physicians followed Zhu’s innovative view that yù is the origin of various illnesses, some of them also shed new light to its emotional affects and gender difference. In their diagnoses, both men and women would suffer from the yù disorders. Yet, yù was sometimes regarded as depressive mental states associated with ‘inner injury’ (nèishāng), anger, pensiveness, or sorrow. It is therefore my attempt to answer the following questions: Why did the yù disorders catch so much attention in Late Imperial China? How were they emotionalised and gendered in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Who were prone to suffer from the yù disorders, and why?
