About
The character for "heart", written as "心" in its modern form, originated as a stylized pictograph depicting the physical organ, with its central cavity and vessels. This traditional shape, which has remained largely consistent, serves not only as a standalone character but also as a semantic component in countless other characters, where it imparts meanings related to emotion, thought, and internal states. Over centuries, its core meaning expanded beyond the literal cardiac organ to encompass the mind, intention, and the center of feeling and thought, a conceptual broadening that solidified its central role in expressing human interiority within the written language.
