甲骨文“心”字，勾勒 出人或动物心脏的轮廓， 心包上还有两笔简练的 斜线以表示心脏肌理和 血管纹络，直观地反映了古人对人体 解剖的朴素认识。本义是心脏。
The oracle bone script of the character "心"(xīn) shows the outline of a human or animal heart, with two simple slashes on the pericardium to represent the heart's texture and blood vessels.This reflects the ancients' basic understanding of human anatomy. The character's original meaning is "heart".
