The Chinese word 物价 (wùjià) is composed of two characters: 物 (wù) and 价 (jià). 物 means "thing" or "object", while 价 means "price" or "value". Together, 物价 means "the price of things" or "the cost of living".The word 物价 has been used in Chinese for centuries. It is first recorded in the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) in the book Shiji (史记), which is a collection of historical records. In the Shiji, 物价 is used to refer to the price of goods in the market.Over time, the meaning of 物价 has expanded to include the cost of living in general. Today, 物价 is used to refer to the prices of goods and services, such as food, housing, transportation, and healthcare.The word 物价 is also used in economics to refer to the general level of prices in an economy. When 物价 rises, it means that the cost of living is increasing. When 物价 falls, it means that the cost of living is decreasing.The etymology of 物价 provides insights into the history and meaning of this important Chinese word.
