The Chinese word "诗人" (shīrén) is composed of two characters: "诗" (shī) and "人" (rén). The character "诗" originally meant "to speak" or "to express oneself". It was later used to refer to poetry, which was seen as a form of verbal expression. The character "人" simply means "person". So, the word "诗人" literally means "a person who speaks or expresses themselves through poetry". In other words, it refers to a poet.The word "诗人" has been used in Chinese for centuries to refer to poets. It is a common term that is easily understood by all Chinese speakers. It is also used in other languages, such as Japanese and Korean, to refer to poets.
