The Chinese character 吉利 (jílì) is composed of two parts: 吉 (jí) and 利 (lì). 吉 originally meant "good luck" or "auspiciousness", while 利 meant "profit" or "benefit". When combined, 吉利 came to mean "good luck and profit" or "auspiciousness and benefit". It is often used in Chinese culture to express wishes for good fortune, success, and prosperity. For example, people might say 吉利话 (jílìhuà) or "auspicious words" to wish someone well, or they might hang 吉利结 (jílìjié) or "auspicious knots" in their homes to bring good luck. The word 吉利 is also used in the names of many Chinese businesses and organizations, such as 吉利汽车 (Jílì Qìchē) or "Geely Automobile", which is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in China.
