The Chinese word 疗养 (liáoyǎng) is composed of two characters: 疗 (liáo) and 养 (yǎng). 疗 means "to cure" or "to treat", while 养 means "to nourish" or "to cultivate". Together, they form the compound word 疗养, which means "to recuperate" or "to convalesce".The word 疗养 first appeared in the Chinese language during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). It was originally used to refer to the process of treating a patient's illness or injury. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include the idea of recuperating or convalescing after an illness or injury.Today, 疗养 is commonly used in Chinese to refer to the process of taking a break from work or school in order to rest and recover from an illness or injury. It can also be used to refer to the process of going to a sanatorium or spa for medical treatment and relaxation.
