同行

The Chinese word 同行 (tóngxíng) is composed of two characters: 同 (tóng), meaning "same" or "together", and 行 (xíng), meaning "row", "line", or "profession". Together, these characters form the word "colleague", which refers to someone who works in the same profession or field as another person.The word 同行 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and its meaning has remained largely unchanged. In ancient China, the term was often used to refer to members of the same guild or trade association. Today, it is more commonly used to refer to colleagues who work in the same company or organization.The word 同行 can also be used in a more general sense to refer to people who share a common interest or pursuit. For example, someone who enjoys playing the same sport as another person might refer to that person as their 同行.The word 同行 is a versatile term that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese.
