心 xīn — heart; mind, feelings, intention; the centre of something (中心)

拼音

• xīn (first tone, high and level)

heart; mind, feelings, intention; the centre of something (中心)

字形拆解

• 心shape partA single pictograph: the sac of the heart with the vessels above it.

Mnemonic

The organ drawn plainly: one curved stroke for the sac, three dots for the vessels standing above it. Chinese puts thinking here as well as feeling, so the heart sits under 想 "to think" and inside 您. On the left of a character it stands up and narrows into 忄 — 忙, 快 — and 小心, a "small heart", is the everyday warning to be careful.
