The Chinese word 结婚 (jiéhūn) for "to get married" is composed of two characters: 结 (jié) and 婚 (hūn). The character 结 (jié) means "to tie" or "to unite," while the character 婚 (hūn) means "marriage." Together, they form the compound word 结婚 (jiéhūn), which literally means "to tie the knot of marriage." This term is used to describe the act of two people coming together in marriage, symbolizing their commitment and union.
