The Chinese word 景色 (jǐng sè) is composed of two characters: 景 (jǐng) and 色 (sè). The character 景 originally meant "bright" or "shining", and was often used to describe the sun or the moon. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to any kind of natural beauty, such as a landscape or a view. The character 色 originally meant "color", but it has also come to be used more broadly to refer to any kind of appearance or quality. When the two characters are combined, they form the word 景色, which means "scenery" or "landscape". This word can be used to describe both natural scenery and man-made scenery, such as a park or a garden.
