情怀
qínghuái · HSK 7
feeling
💗 情 (feeling) + 怀 (to harbor in the chest) = feelings you carry inside
Both characters share the 忄heart radical. 情 is emotion; 怀 means the bosom or to cherish, so 情怀 is the mood or sentiment held close in the chest.
情 — heart radical 忄 + 青 (qīng)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The heart radical 忄 signals that the meaning involves feelings or inner states, while 青 supplies the sound 'qing'. Originally referring to genuine feelings or emotion arising from the heart, 情 expanded to cover sentiment, affection, and circumstances or situations more broadly.
