干
杯
About
The word 干杯 is formed by combining two characters to create a vivid, metaphorical action. The first character, 干, means "dry" or "to do", and the second, 杯, means "cup" or "glass". Together, they construct the literal image of "drying the cup", which is a direct and energetic metaphor for the act of emptying one's glass in a toast, perfectly capturing the gesture and spirit of a communal drink.
