Ganqing (Chinese: 感情; pinyin: gǎnqíng; Wade–Giles: kan-ch'ing) literally means "feel" (Gǎn, 感) "affection" (Qíng, 情) and together the term is often translated as "feelings" or "emotional attachment".
Ganqing refers to a friendship-like feeling that develops between two people, groups, or business partners as their relationship deepens.
Ganqing is an important concept in social relations in Chinese culture that has roots in Confucianism, and is a sub-dimension to the concept of guanxi (a person's relationship network).
Developing good ganqing is a critical aspect of building guanxi relationships.
[1] Good ganqing means that two people have developed a rapport, while deep ganqing means there is a considerable emotional bond within the relationship.
