齐声

齐声 means 'in unison' or 'together in voice,' typically describing a group of people speaking or singing at the same time. It emphasizes collective action and harmony, often used in contexts like chanting, singing, or responding together.

The character 齐 (qí) originally meant 'even' or 'equal,' and later came to mean 'together' or 'all.' 声 (shēng) refers to 'sound' or 'voice.' Together, they convey the idea of voices or actions happening in unison.

齐声 is commonly used in both formal and informal settings, such as in school, religious ceremonies, or public events. It reflects the cultural value placed on unity and collective effort in Chinese society. You might hear it in phrases like “大家齐声歌唱” (everyone sang in unison).
