Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 闭幕 (bìmù) is composed of two characters: 闭 (bì), meaning "to close" or "to shut", and 幕 (mù), meaning "curtain" or "screen". Together, these characters form the compound word 闭幕, which literally means "to close the curtain" or "to bring an end to something". In the context of a meeting, conference, or event, 闭幕 specifically refers to the closing ceremony or the final session that marks the end of the event. It is often used in conjunction with 开幕 (kāimù), which means "to open the curtain" or "to begin an event", to denote the beginning and end of an event.
