The Chinese word 法官 (fǎguān) for "judge" is composed of two characters: 法 (fǎ), meaning "law", and 官 (guān), meaning "official". The term 法官 is used to refer to a person who is authorized to make legal decisions and preside over court proceedings. The character 法 (fǎ) has a long history in Chinese culture and philosophy, dating back to the ancient concept of "fazhi" (rule of law). The character 官 (guān) is also an ancient Chinese character that has been used to refer to various types of government officials throughout history. When combined, the characters 法 and 官 create the term 法官, which specifically refers to a legal official or judge.
