The Chinese word 为主 (wèizhǔ) is composed of two characters: 为 (wèi) and 主 (zhǔ). The character 为 (wèi) originally meant "to do" or "to make", but over time it has come to be used more broadly to mean "for the sake of" or "in order to". The character 主 (zhǔ) originally meant "master" or "lord", but it has also come to be used more broadly to mean "main" or "primary".When these two characters are combined, they form the word 为主 (wèizhǔ), which means "to take as the main thing" or "to regard as the most important". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, but it is most commonly used to describe the main purpose or goal of something. For example, a company might say that its main goal is to provide excellent customer service, or a student might say that their main goal is to get good grades.The word 为主 (wèizhǔ) is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is used frequently in both spoken and written Chinese.
