The Chinese word 控制 (kòngzhì) is composed of two characters: 控 (kòng) and 制 (zhì). The character 控 (kòng) originally meant "to hold in the hand" or "to grasp," and later extended to mean "to control" or "to manage." The character 制 (zhì) originally meant "to make" or "to create," and later extended to mean "to control" or "to regulate." Thus, the word 控制 (kòngzhì) literally means "to control by making or creating."In modern Chinese, 控制 (kòngzhì) is used in a wide variety of contexts to mean "to control," "to manage," or "to regulate." For example, it can be used to describe the control of a machine, the management of a company, or the regulation of a government. It can also be used in a more general sense to mean "to have power over" or "to dominate."The word 控制 (kòngzhì) is a common word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage. By understanding the etymology of the word, learners can gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and how it is used in different contexts.
