悲伤 (bēi shāng) and 忧伤 (yōu shāng) both mean "sad, grieved, sorrowful". However, 悲伤 (bēi shāng) has a stronger connotation of grief and sorrow, while 忧伤 (yōu shāng) has a more subtle and melancholic feeling. 悲伤 (bēi shāng) is often used to describe a deep sorrow that is felt in the heart, while 忧伤 (yōu shāng) is used to describe a more subtle and lingering sadness.
