The Chinese word 开幕 (kāimù) is composed of two characters: 开 (kāi) and 幕 (mù). The character 开 means "to open" or "to begin", while the character 幕 means "curtain" or "stage". Together, the two characters form the word 开幕, which literally means "to open the curtain" or "to begin the show". This term is often used in the context of performing arts, such as theater, dance, or music, to refer to the start of a performance. It can also be used more broadly to refer to the beginning of an event or activity, such as a conference, a meeting, or a sports competition.
