The Chinese word 山区 (shānqū) is composed of two characters: 山 (shān), meaning "mountain", and 区 (qū), meaning "region" or "area". Together, they form the compound word 山区, which literally means "mountainous region" or "mountain area".The character 山 (shān) has a long history in Chinese writing, dating back to the oracle bone script of the Shang dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BCE). In its original form, the character depicted a mountain with three peaks, representing the three main peaks of Mount Tai, one of the five sacred mountains of China. Over time, the character evolved to its current form, which is still used today.The character 区 (qū) also has a long history in Chinese writing, dating back to the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). In its original form, the character depicted a city gate, representing the entrance to a city or town. Over time, the character evolved to its current form, which is still used today.When combined, the characters 山 (shān) and 区 (qū) form the compound word 山区 (shānqū), which literally means "mountainous region" or "mountain area". The word is used to refer to areas of land that are characterized by their mountainous terrain, such as the mountainous regions of western China.
