Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 简介 (jiǎn jiè) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 简 (jiǎn) and 介 (jiè). - The character 简 (jiǎn) means "simple", "brief", or "concise". It is often used to describe something that is easy to understand or that does not require a lot of detail. - The character 介 (jiè) means "to introduce" or "to present". It is often used to introduce someone or something or to provide a brief overview of something. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 简介 (jiǎn jiè), which means "introduction" or "brief description". This word is often used in Chinese to introduce a person, a place, or a thing, or to provide a brief overview of a topic. For example, you might see the word 简介 used in a newspaper article to introduce a new government official, or in a travel guide to provide a brief description of a tourist destination.
