The Chinese character 车 (chē) for "vehicle" is a pictograph that depicts a simple two-wheeled cart. The earliest known form of the character appears on oracle bones from the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BCE). In this early form, the character is clearly a picture of a cart with two wheels and a platform.Over time, the character 车 has evolved in form but not in meaning. The modern form of the character is still recognizable as a picture of a cart, although the details of the cart have been simplified.The character 车 is used in a variety of words related to vehicles, such as 汽车 (qìchē, "car"), 火车 (huǒchē, "train"), and 自行车 (zìxíngchē, "bicycle"). It is also used in some words that are not related to vehicles, such as 车站 (chēzhàn, "train station") and 车票 (chēpiào, "train ticket").The character 车 is a common character in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to be familiar with its meaning and pronunciation.
