The Chinese word 支配 (zhī pèi) is composed of two characters: 支 (zhī) and 配 (pèi). The character 支 originally meant "to support" or "to prop up", and was often used in the context of building or construction. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to control" or "to manage". The character 配 originally meant "to match" or "to fit together", and was often used in the context of marriage or relationships. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to allocate" or "to distribute".When the two characters 支 and 配 are combined, they form the word 支配, which means "to control" or "to dominate". This word is often used in the context of politics, economics, or social relations, to describe the power that one person or group has over another. For example, the Chinese government is often described as being the 支配力量 (zhī pèi lì liàng) of the country, meaning that it has the power to control and manage the affairs of the nation.
