The Chinese word 女性 (nǚxìng) for "female" is composed of two characters: 女 (nǚ), meaning "woman" or "female", and 性 (xìng), meaning "nature" or "character". The character 女 is a pictograph depicting a woman with long hair, while the character 性 is a combination of the characters 生 (shēng), meaning "to give birth", and 心 (xīn), meaning "heart". Together, the two characters 女 and 性 form the word 女性, which literally means "the nature of a woman" or "the female character". This term is used in Chinese to refer to women in general, and is often used in contrast to the word 男性 (nánxìng), meaning "male".
