The Chinese word 收藏 (shōucáng) is composed of two characters: 收 (shōu) and 藏 (cáng). The character 收 originally meant "to gather" or "to harvest," and it is often used in the context of collecting or storing things. The character 藏 originally meant "to hide" or "to conceal," and it is often used in the context of storing or keeping things safe. When these two characters are combined, the resulting word 收藏 takes on the meaning of "to collect" or "to store." In the context of HSK, 收藏 is often used to refer to the act of collecting or storing items of value, such as antiques, art, or books.
