Décomposition du caractère

• 相sound partno entry yet相 xiāng donne le son (xiāng → xiǎng). C’est lui-même un œil 目 auprès d’un arbre 木 — quelqu’un qui examine de près.
• 心meaning partLe cœur, où le chinois loge la pensée autant que le sentiment.

Mnemonic

Un cœur 心 surmonté de 相 xiāng pour le son. Le phonétique mérite un second regard : 相, c’est un œil 目 auprès d’un arbre 木, quelqu’un qui inspecte de près — l’ensemble se lit donc comme le cœur qui examine. Ses trois sens courants en découlent : 我想他, il me manque ; 我想去, je veux y aller ; 你在想什么?, à quoi penses-tu ?
