The Chinese word 明星 (míngxīng) is composed of two characters: 明 (míng) and 星 (xīng). The character 明 means "bright" or "clear", while the character 星 means "star". Together, the two characters 明星 mean "bright star" or "celebrity".The word 明星 is often used to refer to famous people, such as actors, singers, and athletes. It can also be used to refer to people who are considered to be experts in their field, such as scientists, doctors, and lawyers.The word 明星 is a relatively new word in Chinese. It was first used in the early 20th century, when it was borrowed from the Japanese word 明星 (meisei). The Japanese word 明星 was in turn borrowed from the English word "star".The word 明星 is a common word in Chinese today. It is used in both formal and informal settings. It is also used in a variety of different contexts, from news articles to advertisements.
