When combined, the two characters 证明 mean "to prove" or "to demonstrate".The word 证明 can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it can be used to prove one's identity, to prove one's innocence, or to prove a scientific hypothesis. It can also be used in a more general sense, to mean "to show" or "to demonstrate". For example, a teacher might use 证明 to demonstrate a mathematical theorem, or a scientist might use 证明 to demonstrate the results of an experiment.The word 证明 is an important part of the Chinese language, and it is used in a wide variety of contexts.
