The Chinese word 收看 (shōukàn) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 收 (shōu) and 看 (kàn). The character 收 (shōu) means "to receive" or "to collect", while the character 看 (kàn) means "to look at" or "to watch". Together, the two characters 收看 (shōukàn) mean "to watch (TV, a movie, etc.)".The word 收看 (shōukàn) is a relatively new word in the Chinese language. It was first used in the early 20th century, when radio and television were first introduced to China. Before that, people used the word 听 (tīng) to mean "to listen to" or "to watch". However, as radio and television became more popular, the word 收看 (shōukàn) was created to specifically refer to the act of watching TV or a movie.The word 收看 (shōukàn) is now used widely in Chinese. It is used in both formal and informal settings, and it is understood by people of all ages. The word 收看 (shōukàn) is also used in other languages, such as Japanese and Korean.
