Essence-spirit

精神 〔精神〕jīng shén

Essence and spirit considered together; the manifestation of the life force.

NB: The expression 精神 jīng shén as colloquially used in Chinese is roughly the equivalent of the English energy (colloquial sense) or vitality. It is also come to be used in a modern psychology as the equivalent of the English mind.
