The Chinese word 春季 (chūn jì) for "spring season" is composed of two characters: 春 (chūn) and 季 (jì). The character 春 originally meant "warmth" or "heat", and was often used to refer to the season of spring. The character 季 originally meant "season" or "quarter", and was used to refer to one of the four seasons of the year. When combined, the two characters 春季 literally mean "warm season", and are used to refer to the season of spring.The word 春季 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and has been found in texts dating back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE). It is a common word in modern Chinese, and is used in both formal and informal settings.
