The Chinese word 管理 (guǎnlǐ) for "management" is composed of two characters: 管 (guǎn) and 理 (lǐ). The character 管 (guǎn) originally meant "bamboo tube" or "pipe", and later extended to mean "to control" or "to manage". The character 理 (lǐ) originally meant "pattern" or "order", and later extended to mean "to organize" or "to manage". Thus, the word 管理 (guǎnlǐ) literally means "to control and organize", which captures the essence of management. It is worth noting that the word 管理 (guǎnlǐ) is often used in a business context, but it can also be used in other contexts, such as government management or personal management.
