The Chinese word 出生 (chūshēng) for "to be born" is composed of two characters: 出 (chū) and 生 (shēng). The character 出 originally meant "to go out" or "to come out", and it is often used in the sense of "to emerge" or "to appear". The character 生 originally meant "to grow" or "to sprout", and it is often used in the sense of "to be born" or "to come into existence". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 出生, which literally means "to come out of life" or "to emerge into life". This word is used to refer to the process of being born, and it can also be used to refer to the date or time of birth.
