The Chinese word 交通 (jiāotōng) is composed of two characters: 交 (jiāo) and 通 (tōng). 交 means "to intersect" or "to communicate," while 通 means "to pass through" or "to be connected." Together, these two characters form the word 交通, which literally means "to intersect and pass through." This concept of intersection and connection is central to the meaning of 交通, which refers to the movement of people, goods, and information between different places. In modern Chinese, 交通 is used to refer to transportation, communication, and logistics.
