The Chinese character 系 (xì) has a rich history and etymology. It is composed of two parts: the radical 糸 (mì), which represents silk or thread, and the phonetic component 系 (xì), which is a simplified form of the character 繋 (jiàn), meaning "to connect" or "to tie".The original meaning of 系 was "to tie" or "to bind", which is still one of its primary meanings today. It can also be used in a more abstract sense to mean "to connect" or "to relate", as in the phrase 关系 (guānxi), which means "relationship".In addition to its literal meanings, 系 can also be used in a figurative sense to mean "to rely on" or "to depend on", as in the phrase 依靠 (yīkào), which means "to rely on". It can also be used to mean "to belong to" or "to be related to", as in the phrase 属于 (shǔyú), which means "to belong to".The character 系 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and it has a wide range of meanings and applications. It is an important character to learn for HSK learners, as it is used in many common words and phrases.
