The Chinese word 聘请 (pìnqǐng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 聘 (pìn) and 请 (qǐng). The character 聘 originally meant "to hire" or "to engage," and it was often used in the context of hiring officials or scholars. The character 请 originally meant "to invite" or "to request," and it was often used in the context of inviting guests or asking for favors. Over time, the two characters came to be used together to form the word 聘请, which took on the meaning of "to hire" or "to engage someone for a specific task." In modern Chinese, 聘请 is commonly used in the context of hiring employees or inviting experts to give lectures or presentations.
