The Chinese word 农业 (nóngyè) for "agriculture" is composed of two characters: 农 (nóng) and 业 (yè). The character 农 (nóng) originally meant "farmer" or "peasant" and is composed of two parts: 虫 (chóng), meaning "insect," and 力 (lì), meaning "strength." This combination suggests that early farmers used their strength to combat insects that could damage their crops. The character 业 (yè) originally meant "occupation" or "business" and is composed of two parts: 人 (rén), meaning "person," and 戈 (gē), meaning "halberd" or "weapon." This combination suggests that early occupations involved the use of weapons or tools. When combined, the characters 农 (nóng) and 业 (yè) form the word 农业 (nóngyè), which refers to the occupation or business of farming or agriculture.
