The Chinese word 青年 (qīngnián) is composed of two characters: 青 (qīng) and 年 (nián). The character 青 originally meant "blue" or "green," but it can also be used figuratively to mean "youthful" or "vigorous." The character 年 means "year," but it can also be used to refer to a person's age or generation. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 青年, which literally means "blue year" or "green year." However, the term is used to refer to young people in general, especially those who are in their teens or twenties. In modern Chinese, 青年 is often used in a positive sense to describe young people who are energetic, enthusiastic, and full of potential.
