The Chinese word 平均 (píngjūn) for "average" is composed of two characters: 平 (píng), meaning "level" or "even", and 均 (jūn), meaning "equal" or "uniform". Together, these characters convey the idea of something that is balanced or evenly distributed.The word 平均 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and its meaning has remained largely unchanged. In modern Chinese, it is commonly used in mathematical and statistical contexts to refer to the average of a set of numbers. For example, the average of the numbers 1, 2, and 3 is 2.平均 can also be used in a more general sense to refer to something that is fair or equitable. For example, a company might strive to achieve 平均工资 (píngjūn gōngzī), or "equal pay", for its employees.The word 平均 is a versatile and important part of the Chinese language. It is a useful tool for expressing mathematical and statistical concepts, as well as for discussing fairness and equity.
