The Chinese character 进 (jìn) is composed of two parts: 亻(rén) and 夅 (jìn). The radical 亻(rén) on the left side indicates that 进 is related to human activities. The phonetic component 夅 (jìn) on the right side gives the character its pronunciation.The original meaning of 进 is "to enter" or "to go forward". In modern Chinese, 进 has extended its meanings to include "to make progress", "to improve", "to promote", and "to advance". It can also be used as a verb or a noun.For example, the phrase 进入 (jìn rù) means "to enter", while the phrase 进步 (jìn bù) means "to make progress". The word 进展 (jìn zhǎn) means "progress" or "development", while the word 晋升 (jìn shēng) means "promotion".The character 进 is commonly used in everyday Chinese. It is a versatile character that can be used in a variety of contexts. By understanding the etymology of 进, HSK learners can better understand its meaning and usage.
