动人可以指人可以指物，意思是很美丽，令人心神一动.

“动人”可以形容人：美丽动人，也可以形容场景：这里的景色美丽动人，还可以形容话语：这段话讲的好动人，等等thank you！！

动人means something is beautiful and it touches your heart.But mostly we use it on describing an image or a scene. For example: 有对恋人在夕阳下接吻，这个场景真是动人。（ There is a couple kissing under the sunset,and that is really 动人）

动 is move。if have something give you good or bad feel. if have "move"(hard or hand or anything) you can say 动人 or 真（very)动人。

you can use this word to describe a landscape or a piece of art..the meaning of “动人”is close to moving or touching..using this word to describe person is a little weird..but you can use "美丽动人” to describe a person,means you are beautiful enough to touch my heart
