- The Chinese Character For Love
The character 想 (xiǎng) has multiple meaning such as to think, miss or believe something (or someone!). 想 (xiǎng) is composed of 相 (xiàng) meaning appearance and of course 心 (xīn), together they create phonetics and meaning. However, the character 相 (xiàng) depicts a tree (木 – mù) and an eye (目– mù) suggesting the need to look and check for danger....
The character of 忘 (wàng) features our 心 (xīn) radical and the phonetic 亡(wáng), which means to disappear or the death of something. Combining these two suggests that the mind is unable to function or is ‘lost’, coming to the final meaning of forget: 忘 (wàng). 忘记 (wàng jì) to forget 难忘(nán wàng) unforgettable 我忘不了以前的事。(wǒ wàng bù liǎo yǐ qián de sh...
怒 (nù) is quite an angry looking character and its meaning is also sinister. The top half of our character is probably familiar to those of you who read our previous article on 女字旁：The Female Radical, as this is 奴(nú) meaning slave. The quite direct meaning of this character is not to be a slave to your heart and allow your anger to control you… 怒气...
愁 (chóu) is personally one of my favourite characters containing the 心 (xīn) radical; derived of the character 秋(qiū) referring to the season Autumn or Fall and our beloved 心 (xīn), the character literally suggests that the heart is weighed down by the Autumn. It does not exactly mean that Autumn makes us feel down, but that it produces feelings of...
您 (nín) is the honorific version of the more commonly used 你 (nǐ). 您 (nín) should be used when expressing respect to those older than yourself or to be courteous to people of higher rank, such as your boss or manager. 您可以好好想一想。(nín ké yǐ háo háo xiǎng yi xiǎng.) You can think about it deeply.
The variant of 心 (xīn) can be seen here alongside the phonetic character 白(bái) meaning white. Together they literally mean ‘white heart’ referring to ‘lack of courage’. 害怕 (hài pà) to be afraid 不怕(bù pà) fearless 不要害怕，相信自己可以成功。(bú yào hài pà, xiāng xìn zì jǐ ké yǐ chéng gōng) Don’t be afraid, believe in yourself that you can succeed.
To understand this character more fully, we should turn to its traditional counterpart 憶(yì). The phonetic side of the character refers to the ‘intention of thought’, so when the additional 心 (xīn) is added to become a reflection or memory. 不怕 (huí yì) memories 追忆(zhuī yì) to recollect 学校带给我很多美好的回忆。(xué xiào dài géi wǒ hěn duō méi hǎo de huí yì.) S...
Old forms of this character showed a hand holding a hammer or bow preparing to shoot an arrow. This combined with the 心 (xīn) radical suggests that quickness depends on the mind and heart. 加快 (jiā kuài) to accelerate 尽快(jǐn kuài) as quickly as possible 我们要快点完成这些作业。(wǒ men yào kuài diǎn wán chéng zhè xiē zuò yè.) We need to finish the homework quick...
Finally, I would like to look at 1 character that in its simplified version, no longer contains the 心 radical. The character for love and affection 爱(ài) demonstrates a modern approach to the notion of love, focusing more on friendship and co-operation, than love. The traditional character 愛 (ài) is made up of three parts: ‘breathe into’, the ‘hear...
