结束

The Chinese word 结束 (jiéshù) is composed of two characters: 结 (jié) and 束 (shù).

The character 束 originally meant "a bundle" or "a sheaf," and it is often used in the sense of "to bind" or "to restrain." When these two characters are combined, they form the word 结束, which means "to end" or "to conclude."The word 结束 can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it can be used to describe the end of a story, a meeting, or a project. It can also be used to describe the end of a person's life. In addition, the word 结束 can be used as a noun to refer to the end of something. For example, the phrase 结束语 (jiéshùyǔ) means "closing remarks."The word 结束 is a common word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to be familiar with its meaning and usage.
