The Chinese word 清洗 (qīngxǐ) is composed of two characters: 清 (qīng) and 洗 (xǐ). The character 清 originally meant "clear" or "pure," and was often used in the context of water. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to anything that was clean or free from impurities. The character 洗 originally meant "to wash" or "to cleanse," and was often used in the context of washing clothes or dishes. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to any act of cleaning or purifying.When the two characters 清 and 洗 are combined, they form the word 清洗, which means "to clean" or "to cleanse." This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as cleaning a room, washing clothes, or purifying water. It can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as cleansing oneself of guilt or shame.The word 清洗 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in both spoken and written language. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used in a variety of everyday situations.
