The Chinese word "贷款" is composed of two characters: "贷" and "款". The character "贷" means "to lend" or "to borrow", while the character "款" means "money" or "funds". Together, the two characters form the word "贷款", which means "loan".The word "贷款" has been used in Chinese for centuries. It is first recorded in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) in the book "Shiji" (史记), which is a collection of historical records. In the "Shiji", the word "贷款" is used to describe a loan that was made by the government to a farmer.The word "贷款" is still used in Chinese today with the same meaning. It is a common word that is used in both everyday conversation and in financial transactions.
