The Chinese word 路线 (lùxiàn) is composed of two characters: 路 (lù), meaning "road" or "path," and 线 (xiàn), meaning "line" or "route." Together, these characters form the compound word 路线, which literally means "road line" or "route line." In a broader sense, 路线 can be understood as a "course of action" or a "plan of action." It is often used in the context of politics, economics, or military strategy to refer to a specific policy or approach that is being followed. For example, the phrase "一带一路" (yīdàiyīlù), which refers to China's Belt and Road Initiative, literally means "one belt, one road" and symbolizes the country's strategy to connect with other countries through infrastructure development and trade.
