Chinese culture places great importance on emotional 'qi' (inner temper/morale) and personal dignity. 'Chu qi' means venting pent-up anger or resentment. However, mature social conduct prioritizes 'gu quan da ju' (considering the bigger picture), so impulsively venting one's anger is often viewed as immature or detrimental to larger goals.
