The Chinese word 脾气 (pīqi) is composed of two characters: 气 (qì) and 脾 (pí). 气 (qì) means "air", "breath", or "energy", and is often used in Chinese medicine to refer to the vital energy that flows through the body. 脾 (pí) means "spleen", and in Chinese medicine, the spleen is believed to be responsible for digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients. Together, the two characters 脾气 (pīqi) can be understood as "the energy of the spleen". In Chinese culture, 脾气 (pīqi) is often used to refer to a person's temperament or disposition, as it is believed that the spleen plays a role in regulating emotions. For example, someone who is easily angered or irritable may be said to have a "bad temper" (脾气不好).
