The Chinese word "学问" (xuéwèn) is composed of two characters: "学" (xué) and "问" (wèn). The character "学" originally meant "to learn" or "to study", and it is often used in the context of education or knowledge acquisition. The character "问" originally meant "to ask" or "to inquire", and it is often used in the context of seeking knowledge or information. When these two characters are combined to form "学问", the meaning becomes more comprehensive, referring to the pursuit of knowledge, learning, and scholarship. In modern Chinese, "学问" is often used to refer to academic knowledge, scholarship, or expertise in a particular field of study.
