brief
The Chinese character 详细 (xíxiáng) is composed of two parts: 细 (xì) and 目 (mù). 细 means "fine" or "detailed", while 目 means "eye". Together, they mean "to see in detail" or "to examine carefully". The word 详细 is often used to describe something that is thorough or comprehensive. For example, a 详细的报告 (xíxiáng de bàogào) is a detailed report, while a 详细的计划 (xíxiáng de jìhuà) is a detailed plan.The character 详细 has been used in Chinese for centuries. It can be found in texts from as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). Over time, the meaning of the word has evolved slightly, but it has always retained its basic meaning of "detailed" or "thorough".Today, 详细 is a common word in both spoken and written Chinese. It is used in a variety of contexts, from everyday conversation to academic writing. When you want to say something is detailed or thorough, you can use the word 详细.
