The Chinese word 市民 (shìmín) for "citizen" is composed of two characters: 市 (shì), meaning "city" or "market," and 民 (mín), meaning "people." The term 市民 originally referred to people who lived in cities and engaged in commercial activities, such as merchants and artisans. Over time, the meaning of 市民 expanded to include all urban residents, regardless of their occupation. In modern Chinese, 市民 is used to refer to citizens of a country or city, with an emphasis on their rights and responsibilities as members of a community.
