Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 建立 (jiànlì) is composed of two characters: 建 (jiàn) and 立 (lì). The character 建 originally meant "to build" or "to establish", and it is often used in the context of constructing buildings or other structures. The character 立, on the other hand, means "to stand" or "to establish", and it is often used in the context of setting up an organization or institution. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 建立, which means "to establish" or "to build". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as establishing a new company, building a new house, or setting up a new government.
