The original meaning of 聚 was "to gather pigs", but over time it came to be used more generally to mean "to gather" or "to assemble".The character 会 is composed of two parts: 人 (rén), which means "person", and 口 (kǒu), which means "mouth". The original meaning of 会 was "to speak together", but over time it came to be used more generally to mean "meeting" or "gathering".The compound word 聚会 (jùhuì) is first recorded in the 13th century, and it has been used continuously since then. It is a common word in modern Chinese, and it is used to refer to a wide variety of gatherings, from small parties to large conferences.
