The Chinese word 宁静 (nìngjìng) is composed of two characters: 宁 (níng) and 静 (jìng). The character 宁 originally meant "to settle down" or "to be at peace". It is composed of the radical 宀 (miàn), which represents a roof, and the phonetic component 宁 (níng). The character 静 originally meant "still" or "quiet". It is composed of the radical 水 (shuǐ), which represents water, and the phonetic component 争 (zhēng). When combined, the two characters 宁静 (nìngjìng) create the meaning of "peaceful and quiet".
