The Chinese word 事实 (shìshí) is composed of two characters: 事 (shì), meaning "matter" or "affair", and 实 (shí), meaning "real" or "true". Together, these characters form the compound word 事实, which means "fact" or "reality".The character 事 (shì) is derived from the oracle bone script, which is the earliest known form of Chinese writing. In the oracle bone script, the character 事 is depicted as a person holding a staff, which is thought to represent a person conducting an investigation or performing a task. The character 实 (shí) is also derived from the oracle bone script, and it is depicted as a person standing on the ground, which is thought to represent a person who is grounded in reality.The compound word 事实 (shìshí) first appeared in the Chinese language during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). It was used to refer to events or situations that were true or real, and it has been used in this sense ever since. Today, 事实 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts to refer to facts or realities.
