The Chinese word 收益 (shōuyì) is composed of two characters: 收 (shōu), meaning "to receive" or "to collect", and 益 (yì), meaning "benefit" or "profit". Together, these characters form the word 收益, which means "income" or "revenue".The character 收 (shōu) is derived from the oracle bone script, which is the earliest known form of Chinese writing. In the oracle bone script, the character 收 is depicted as a hand holding a bundle of grain. This image represents the act of receiving or collecting something.The character 益 (yì) is also derived from the oracle bone script. In the oracle bone script, the character 益 is depicted as a person standing next to a bowl of water. This image represents the act of benefiting from something.When the characters 收 (shōu) and 益 (yì) are combined, they form the word 收益 (shōuyì), which means "income" or "revenue". This word is used to describe the money that a person or business earns from their work or investments.
