The Chinese word 存款 (cúnkuǎn) is composed of two characters: 存 (cún) and 款 (kuǎn). The character 存 means "to store" or "to deposit", while the character 款 means "money" or "funds". Together, the two characters form the word 存款, which means "deposit".The word 存款 has been used in Chinese for centuries. It is first recorded in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), when it was used to refer to money that was deposited with a government agency. Over time, the word 存款 came to be used more broadly to refer to any type of deposit, including deposits with banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.Today, the word 存款 is one of the most common words used in Chinese to refer to deposits. It is used in a variety of contexts, including banking, finance, and everyday conversation.
