The Chinese word 书架 (shūjià) for "bookshelf" is a compound of two characters: 书 (shū), meaning "book," and 架 (jià), meaning "shelf" or "rack." The character 书 originally depicted a bamboo slip, which was an early form of writing material in ancient China. The character 架 is composed of two parts: 木 (mù), meaning "wood," and 夾 (jiā), meaning "to hold" or "to clamp." Together, the two characters 书架 literally mean "book-holding shelf" or "bookcase." The word 书架 is commonly used in modern Chinese to refer to a piece of furniture designed to store books, typically with multiple shelves.
