The Chinese word 轮椅 (lún yǐ) for "wheelchair" is a compound of two characters: 轮 (lún), meaning "wheel", and 椅 (yǐ), meaning "chair". The word 轮椅 literally means "wheeled chair", which accurately describes the function of a wheelchair.The character 轮 (lún) has a long history in Chinese, dating back to the Shang dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC). It was originally a pictograph of a wheel, and it has been used to represent the concept of "wheel" ever since. The character 椅 (yǐ) is also a pictograph, and it originally depicted a person sitting on a chair. It has been used to represent the concept of "chair" since the Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD).The compound word 轮椅 (lún yǐ) first appeared in Chinese during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). It was originally used to refer to a type of sedan chair that was mounted on wheels. However, over time, the word came to be used more generally to refer to any type of wheelchair.Today, 轮椅 (lún yǐ) is the standard Chinese word for "wheelchair". It is used in both formal and informal settings, and it is understood by people of all ages and backgrounds.
