Serie 青
情,qíng,sentiment, emotion
情 = 忄 + 青. It is usual to see in this association the heart (in composition it can be written 忄) and 青 qing, phonetic element. Certainly, 青 gives the pronunciation. When we remember that 青 also means young, we can make the connection between youth and feelings, the ardour of the feelings of youth. At the same time, this way of looking at the structure of the character helps to remember the composition better.
情 = 忄+ 青 = heart + youth
