The Chinese word 商务 (shāngwù) is composed of two characters: 商 (shāng) and 务 (wù). The character 商 originally meant "to barter" or "to trade", and later came to refer to "commerce" or "business". The character 务 means "affairs" or "business". Together, the two characters 商务 mean "commerce" or "business".The word 商务 is first recorded in the 16th century, during the Ming Dynasty. It was originally used to refer to the activities of merchants and traders. However, over time, the meaning of the word has expanded to include all aspects of business, including manufacturing, finance, and transportation.Today, 商务 is a common word in Chinese. It is used in both formal and informal settings, and it is understood by people of all ages and educational backgrounds.
