Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 影视 (yǐngshì) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 影 (yǐng) and 视 (shì). The character 影 originally meant "shadow" or "reflection," but it has come to be used more broadly to refer to images or moving pictures. The character 视 originally meant "to see" or "to look at," but it has also come to be used more broadly to refer to the process of watching or viewing. Thus, the word 影视 can be understood as a combination of these two meanings, referring to the process of watching or viewing images or moving pictures. This word is commonly used in Chinese to refer to the film and television industry, as well as to the art of filmmaking and television production.
