The Chinese word 诞生 (dànshēng) is composed of two characters: 诞 (dàn) and 生 (shēng). 诞 originally meant "to give birth" or "to be born", and was often used in ancient Chinese texts to refer to the birth of a child. 生, on the other hand, has a broad range of meanings, including "to live", "to grow", and "to produce". When combined together, the two characters form the word 诞生, which specifically refers to the act of being born or coming into existence. In modern Chinese, 诞生 is commonly used to describe the birth of a person or the creation of something new, such as a new idea or a new product.
