The Chinese word 涨价 (zhǎngjià) is composed of two characters: 涨 (zhǎng) and 价 (jià). 涨 means "to rise" or "to increase", while 价 means "price". Together, they form the compound word 涨价, which means "to increase in price" or "to go up in price".The character 涨 is composed of two parts: 水 (shuǐ) and 上 (shàng). 水 means "water", while 上 means "up". The combination of these two characters creates the idea of "water rising", which is a metaphor for something increasing or rising.The character 价 is composed of two parts: 贝 (bèi) and 加 (jiā). 贝 means "shell", which was used as currency in ancient China. 加 means "to add" or "to increase". The combination of these two characters creates the idea of "adding to the price" or "increasing the price".Therefore, the word 涨价 is a combination of the characters 涨 and 价, which together mean "to increase in price" or "to go up in price".
