This is the Chinese/Japanese/Korean character
for "Ai" which is "Love". This may be hard to imagine as a westerner, but the strokes
at the top of this love character symbolize the family & marriage. It means 1.love;
affection 2.to love 3.to be fond of or keen on 4.to treasure 5.to be apt to.
It can refer to the feeling between people, and their connection. The traditional
Chinese character for love (愛) consists of a heart (middle ) inside of "accept,
"feel," or "perceive " which shows a graceful emotion.
Cultural views
In contemporary Chinese language and culture, several terms or root words are used
for the concept of love:
It was the first name of the Qing emperor.
Ai is used as a verb (e.g., Wo ai ni, "I love you") or as a noun, especially in
aiqing (愛情), "love" or "romance." In mainland China since 1949, airen (愛人, originally
"lover," or more literally, "love person") is the dominant word for "spouse" (with
separate terms for "wife" and "husband" originally being de-emphasized); the word
once had a negative connotation, which it retains among many in Taiwan.
Lian (戀) is not generally used alone, but instead as part of such terms as "being
in love" (談戀愛, tan lian'ai—also containing ai), "lover" (戀人, lianren) or "homosexuality"
(同性戀, tongxinglian).
Qing (情), commonly meaning "feeling" or "emotion," often indicates "love" in several
terms. It is contained in the word aiqing (愛情); qingren (情人) is a term for "lover."
