Abstract
Under the influence of computer metaphor ,cognitively—oriented theories of emotion have dominated the emotion .The view of embodied cognition has been accepted gradually after Computer metaphor theories are in a mess. Embodied emotion is the result of the application of embodied cognition. Embodied emotion can relax some traditional constraints, cast off fetters and handcuffs. Thus we can study emotion in a wider vision. Embodied emotion might contribute to a paradigm shift in the scientific study of emotion.
