The Chinese word 节省 (jiéchóng) means "to save" or "to economize". It is composed of two characters: 节 (jié), which means "to save" or "to economize", and 省 (chóng), which means "to save" or "to economize". The word 节省 is often used in the context of saving money or resources. For example, someone might say 节省开支 (jiéchóng kāizhī) to mean "to save money" or 节省能源 (jiéchóng néngyuán) to mean "to save energy". The word 节省 can also be used in a more general sense to mean "to save" or "to economize". For example, someone might say 节省时间 (jiéchóng shíjiān) to mean "to save time" or 节省精力 (jiéchóng jīnglì) to mean "to save energy".
