The emotional sphere of a person is one of the most relevant subjects of modern interdisciplinary discourse, attracting the attention of psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists and philosophers. A special place in this area is occupied by the study of cultural conditioning of emotional manifestations, which goes beyond the traditional understanding of emotions as universal biological phenomena. The purpose of the study is to systematically analyze the mechanisms and features of the influence of the Confucian cultural tradition on the expression of emotions in East Asian societies, primarily in China. The research is based on a set of complementary methods of humanitarian cognition: historical and philosophical analysis of canonical texts, comparative historical method, conceptual analysis of the main categories of Confucian emotional theory, structural and functional analysis of the mechanisms of translation of philosophical principles into social practices and a synthetic approach to create a holistic theoretical model. The results of the study demonstrate that Confucian influence on the emotional sphere was carried out through successive historical stages: early Confucianism (VI-III centuries. BC) laid the foundations of emotional regulation through the concepts of ren, li and the four moral senses; classical Confucianism systematized the principles of Zhong he; neo-Confucianism (XI-XVII centuries) created a metaphysical foundation for emotional discipline; the late Imperial period detailed the practical ethics of family and social relations. Four main mechanisms of Confucian influence are identified: formation of a specific system of emotional values, provision of practical methods of regulation, integration of the emotional sphere into the context of moral development, cultural legitimization of certain emotional patterns. The study confirms the fundamental relationship between cultural traditions and emotional expressions. The Confucian tradition has formed a stable model of emotional behavior characterized by the priority of social harmony, emotional restraint, the development of empathic qualities and the integration of emotional maturity into the process of personal improvement. The prospects for further research are related to the study of specific mechanisms for the implementation of the identified patterns in modern social practices of East Asian societies.
