The Chinese word 真理 (zhēnlǐ) for "truth" is composed of two characters: 真 (zhēn) and 理 (lǐ). 真 means "real" or "genuine", while 理 means "principle" or "reason". Together, they form the compound word 真理, which can be translated as "true principle" or "true reason". This term is often used in a philosophical or scientific context to refer to a fundamental truth or principle that is universally valid. In a broader sense, it can also be used to refer to any kind of truth, such as a moral or ethical truth.
