The Chinese word 产业 (chǎnyè) for "industry" is composed of two characters: 产 (chǎn) and 业 (yè). The character 产 originally meant "to give birth" or "to produce", and later extended to mean "property" or "wealth". The character 业 originally meant "occupation" or "business", and later extended to mean "industry" or "profession". The combination of these two characters creates the word 产业, which refers to the production of goods or services for economic purposes. In modern Chinese, 产业 is often used to refer to a specific industry or sector of the economy, such as the manufacturing industry or the service industry.
