工商

工商 refers to business or commercial activities. It is often used in formal contexts, especially in relation to commerce, trade, and enterprise. While it can be translated as 'business,' it has a broader connotation that includes the administrative and legal aspects of running a company.

The character 工 (gōng) means 'work' or 'industry,' while 商 (shāng) means 'trade' or 'commerce.' Together, they form a compound word that represents the field of business and commercial operations.

工商 is commonly seen in terms like 工商管理 (gōng shāng guǎn lǐ), which means 'business management,' and 工商注册 (gōng shāng zhù cè), meaning 'business registration.' It is widely used in official and professional settings in China.
