The Chinese word 时间 (shíjiān) for "time" is a compound of two characters: 时 (shí), meaning "time, season, hour", and 间 (jiān), meaning "interval, space, period". The character 时 is derived from the oracle bone script, which depicts a sun rising over the horizon, representing the beginning of a new day. The character 间 is derived from the oracle bone script, which depicts a person standing between two objects, representing the space between them. Together, the two characters 时间 form a compound that means "the interval between two events" or "the duration of an event".
