The Chinese word 倾向 (qīngxiàng) is composed of two characters: 倾 (qīng) and 向 (xiàng). 倾 originally means "to pour" or "to lean", and in this context, it refers to the idea of "inclining" or "tending towards". 向, on the other hand, means "towards" or "in the direction of". When combined, these two characters form the word 倾向, which literally means "inclination towards" or "tendency". In terms of usage, 倾向 is often used to describe a person's preference, inclination, or bias towards a particular idea, opinion, or course of action. It can also be used in a more general sense to refer to a trend or prevailing tendency in a particular situation or context.
