Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 今天 (jīntiān) is composed of two characters: 今 (jīn) and 天 (tiān). 今 means "now" or "today", while 天 means "day" or "sky". The word 今天 is therefore literally translated as "today".The character 今 is derived from the oracle bone script, which is the earliest known form of Chinese writing. In the oracle bone script, 今 is depicted as a person standing with their arms raised, which is thought to represent the sun rising. The character 天 is also derived from the oracle bone script, and it is depicted as a person standing under a roof, which is thought to represent a house.The word 今天 has been used in Chinese for over 2,000 years. It is a common word that is used in everyday speech and writing. 今天 is also used in a number of idioms and proverbs, such as 明天的事明天再说 (míngtiān de shì míngtiān zàishuō), which means "Don't worry about tomorrow, deal with it when it comes".
