The Chinese word 辞职 (cìzhí) is composed of two characters: 辞 (cí) and 职 (zhí). The character 辞 (cí) means "to resign" or "to decline", while the character 职 (zhí) means "position" or "office". Together, the two characters 辞职 (cìzhí) mean "to resign from a position" or "to quit a job".The word 辞职 (cìzhí) has been used in Chinese for centuries. It is first recorded in the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE) in the book "Shiji" (史记), which is a collection of historical records. In the "Shiji", the word 辞职 (cìzhí) is used to describe the resignation of an official from his position.Over time, the word 辞职 (cìzhí) has come to be used more broadly to refer to any type of resignation from a position, not just the resignation of an official. Today, the word 辞职 (cìzhí) is commonly used by people in China to resign from their jobs.The word 辞职 (cìzhí) is also used in other Chinese-speaking countries and regions, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In these countries and regions, the word 辞职 (cìzhí) is also used to refer to any type of resignation from a position.
