The Shuōwén Seal form of 心 xīn ‘heart’ is said to depict a human heart; the heart is one of the five principal bodily organs (​五​臧/​藏: 心 ‘heart’, ​肝 ‘liver’, ​脾 ‘spleen’, ​肺 ‘lungs’, ​肾 ‘kidneys’), associated with ​土 ‘earth’ in old texts, and also with ​火 ‘fire’ (as in 心​宿=​大​火 ‘Antares’).
    Older graphs associated with 心 seem to depict the four-chambered heart, with blood vessels above, and interior vena cava below.
    Compare: ​也 yě ‘pudenda’.
    As a component, 心 on the left is wr. ​忄 (as in ​情 qíng), and inserted at the bottom is sometimes wr. ​⺗ (as in ​慕 mù).
    As 61st of the 214 radicals, it suggests ‘emotions/feelings; thoughts/ideas’.
