Old Chinese Criteria
[DEFINITIVE/TENTATIVE] [FIGURATIVE/LITERAL] [GENERAL/SPECIFIC] [PRECISE/VAGUE] [PROSPECTIVE/RETROSPECTIVE] 1. Jì 計 refers to assessing something by a process of literal or figurative "precise calculation", and this is perhaps the most general word in this field. [GENERAL], [PRECISE] 2. Liào 料 refers to a tentative and approximative subjective assessment, typically of probabilities. [APPROXIMATIVE], [PROSPECTIVE], [TENTATIVE] 3. Cè 測 are to assess roughly or approximately, typically probabilities of the future, but also current matters. [VAGUE], [TENTATIVE] 4. Lùn 論 focusses on the judgment passed explicitly by way of explicit assessment, and the word often has a theoretical or juridical flavour. [DEFINITIVE], [EXPLICIT] 5. Liáng 量 refers very often literally to measuring physical dimensions of any kind, but can also be used figuratively to mean "fathom, imagine fully the size of something". [LITERAL!] 6. Duó 度 is often more abstract in nuance and expresses something in the direction of a conclusive opinion about the matter assessed. Thus this meaning of duó 度 is close to the related meaning "reckon that, consider that". [FIGURATIVE]; [[RARE]], [[MARGINAL]] 7. Chéng 程 is to apply an administrative standard in the bureaucratic assessment of something. [DEFINITIVE], [OFFICIAL], [PRECISE] 8. Jiān 監 is to assess continuously through surveillence and the like, often through the intermediary of others. [LASTING], [OFFICIAL], [VAGUE] 9. Chēng 稱 is primarily to assess the weight of something. See WEIGH. 10.
