The Shuōwén Seal form of 情 qíng ‘(human) feeling/emotion/passion/desire’ combines ​忄(​心 xīn) ‘heart/feeling’, and ​青(​𤯞​𤯝​靑) qīng ‘green/fresh’ (phonosemantic).
    Note: SW glosses this as ‘the (unrestrained/unlimited) ⚋ feminine/dark side of human desire’ (​人​之​陰​氣​有​欲​者); the seven primary human emotions included in ⓪ 情 ‘feelings’ are ⑴ ​喜 ‘joy’, ⑵ ​怒 ‘anger’, ⑶ ​哀 ‘sorrow’, ⑷ ​懼 ‘fear’, ⑸ ​愛 ‘love’, ⑹ ​惡 ‘disgust’, ⑺ ​欲 ‘desire’; the three innate paired/contrasting feelings are ⑴ ​好​惡 love/disgust, ⑵ ​喜​怒 happiness/anger, and ⑶ ​哀​樂 mourning/celebration; ​性 xìng ‘(good/positive) human nature/character’ innately ⚊ yáng ‘male’ reasons/controls; 情 qíng ‘(human) feeling/emotion/passion’ is born of ⚋ yīn ‘female’ longing/worry; the ​生 ‘innate/birth’ component in both of these forms (​性/情) takes/has a different aspect in each (innate abilities, vs. derived sentiments).
    Compare: ​精 jīng ‘select/perfect (rice)’, ​酒​精 ‘alcohol’ (distilled essence of rice wine).
