The Chinese word 建筑 (jiànzhù) for "architecture" is composed of two characters: 建 (jiàn), meaning "to build" or "to construct," and 筑 (zhù), meaning "to pile up" or "to erect." Together, these characters convey the idea of creating or erecting a structure.The character 建 (jiàn) is composed of two parts: 木 (mù), meaning "wood," and 斤 (jīn), meaning "axe." This suggests that the original meaning of 建 was related to cutting wood and building with it. The character 筑 (zhù) is composed of two parts: 土 (tǔ), meaning "earth," and 竹 (zhú), meaning "bamboo." This suggests that the original meaning of 筑 was related to building with earth and bamboo.Over time, the meanings of 建 and 筑 evolved and expanded to include a wider range of building materials and construction techniques. Eventually, they came to be used together to form the word 建筑 (jiànzhù), which refers to the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and other structures.
