It was originally a pictograph of a body of water with waves, and it has been used to refer to the sea, ocean, or any large body of water. The character 军 (jūn) also has a long history, dating back to the Zhou dynasty (c. 1046-256 BC). It was originally a pictograph of a group of soldiers, and it has been used to refer to an army, military force, or any organized group of people.The compound 海军 (hǎijūn) first appeared in the Chinese language during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). It was used to refer to the Chinese navy, which was established in 1890. The term 海军 is still used today to refer to the Chinese navy, as well as the navies of other countries.
