The Chinese word 硬件 (yìngjiàn) for "hardware" is a compound of two characters: 硬 (yìng), meaning "hard", and 件 (jiàn), meaning "piece" or "item". The term "hardware" is used to refer to the physical components of a computer system, such as the processor, memory, storage devices, and input/output devices. In Chinese, the term 硬件 is used in a similar sense, but it can also be used more broadly to refer to any hard or durable object, such as tools, machinery, or building materials. The term 硬件 is often contrasted with 软件 (ruǎnjiàn), which refers to the software or programs that run on a computer system.
