The Chinese word 表现 (biǎoxiàn) is composed of two characters: 表 (biǎo) and 现 (xiàn). The character 表 (biǎo) originally meant "to show" or "to express", and it is often used in the sense of "to represent" or "to symbolize". The character 现 (xiàn) originally meant "to appear" or "to manifest", and it is often used in the sense of "to show up" or "to become visible". When these two characters are combined, the word 表现 (biǎoxiàn) takes on the meaning of "to express" or "to show". It can be used to describe the act of expressing oneself through words, actions, or art, or it can be used to describe the way in which something appears or manifests itself. For example, the sentence 他在舞台上表现得很好 (tā zài wǔtái shàng biǎoxiàn dé hěn hǎo) means "He performed very well on stage".
