The Chinese word 下雨 (xià yǔ) for "rain" is composed of two characters: 下 (xià) and 雨 (yǔ). The character 下 originally meant "to descend" or "to go down", and it is often used in compounds to indicate a downward motion or direction. In the context of 下雨, it refers to the rain falling from the sky. The character 雨, on the other hand, is a pictograph that depicts rain falling from the sky. It is one of the oldest Chinese characters, dating back to the oracle bone script of the Shang dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BC). When combined, 下雨 literally means "descending rain", which accurately describes the phenomenon of rainfall.
