The word 人心 is formed by combining the character for "person" (人) with the character for "heart" or "mind" (心). This is not a grammatical construction but a conceptual fusion, where the core inner essence or faculty of an individual (心) is directly linked to the human condition or collective body (人). The result is a single, unified concept that intuitively means "the heart/mind of the people" or "public sentiment", capturing a shared human interiority, encompassing collective conscience, morale, and common feeling, in a way that feels immediate and holistic rather than analytically assembled.
