§ Understanding 心脏 (xīnzàng)
- DEFINITION
- Heart; a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood.
When you're talking about the physical organ that pumps blood in your body, you use 心脏 (xīnzàng). It's straightforward: think 'anatomical heart'.
她的心脏很健康。(Her heart is very healthy.)
医生检查了他的心脏。(The doctor examined his heart.)
§ 心 (xīn) - The more common word
Now, if you want to talk about the heart in a more abstract sense – emotions, feelings, or even the core of something – you'll use just 心 (xīn). This is a much more versatile and commonly used character.
- Emotions and Feelings: This is where you'll hear 心 (xīn) most often.
我很开心。(I am very happy. / My heart is very open.)
他心里很难过。(He is very sad in his heart.)
- Intentions or Thoughts: When you're talking about what someone is thinking or intending.
你心里在想什么？(What are you thinking in your heart?)
- Core or Center: Sometimes, 心 (xīn) can refer to the central part of something.
市中心 (shì zhōng xīn) (city center)
§ When to use which: The key difference
The easiest way to remember is this:
- 心脏 (xīnzàng): Use it for the actual organ. Think doctors, biology, physical health.
- 心 (xīn): Use it for pretty much everything else related to emotions, thoughts, feelings, or the core of something.
§ Other common phrases with 心 (xīn)
There are many common expressions and compound words that use 心 (xīn) to convey various meanings related to the 'mind' or 'spirit'.
- 小心 (xiǎoxīn): Be careful (literally 'small heart', meaning to be attentive).
过马路要小心。(Be careful when crossing the road.)
- 担心 (dānxīn): To worry (literally 'carry heart', meaning to have a heavy heart).
我担心他。(I worry about him.)
- 信心 (xìnxīn): Confidence (literally 'trust heart', meaning a believing heart).
他对未来充满信心。(He is full of confidence for the future.)
- 专心 (zhuānxīn): To concentrate, to be focused (literally 'special heart', meaning to put your whole heart into something).
上课要专心听讲。(You should listen attentively in class.)
Wusstest du?
In Chinese culture, '心' (xīn) is not just the physical heart but also represents the mind, intellect, and emotions. So, '心脏' specifically refers to the physical organ.

Wortherkunft
Formed from '心' (xīn) meaning 'heart' and '脏' (zàng) meaning 'viscera' or 'internal organs'.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The organ of the body that pumps blood.
Sino-TibetanKultureller Kontext
In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart (心) is considered the 'emperor' of the body, governing mental activities and consciousness. It's often linked to emotions like joy. This makes '心脏' (the physical heart) crucial not just for pumping blood, but also metaphorically tied to one's inner world.
