About

The word 暑假 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a clear meaning to create a new, composite idea. The first character, 暑 (shǔ), means "summer heat" or the hot season. The second, 假 (jià), means "holiday" or "vacation". When placed together, they directly and logically describe the specific "holiday that takes place during the hot summer", forming the single concept of "summer vacation".
