The Chinese word "必修" is composed of two characters: "必" and "修". The character "必" means "must" or "necessary", while the character "修" means "to learn" or "to study". Together, the two characters form the word "必修", which means "compulsory course" or "required course". This term is often used in the context of education to refer to courses that are mandatory for students to take in order to complete a degree or program. For example, in the Chinese education system, there are a number of compulsory courses that students must take in order to graduate from high school or university. These courses typically cover a range of subjects, such as language, mathematics, science, and social studies. By requiring students to take these courses, the education system ensures that they have a well-rounded education and are prepared for further study or employment.
