The Chinese word 灌输 (guànshū) is a compound verb formed by combining two characters with related meanings: 灌 (guàn), which means "to irrigate", "to pour", or "to fill", and 输 (shū), which means "to transport" or "to convey". Together, they create a vivid metaphorical meaning of "to imbue" or "to instill", picturing knowledge or ideas being poured into and conveyed to a recipient's mind, much like channeling water into a field. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two verbs with complementary actions are joined to express a single, more nuanced concept, emphasizing a systematic, forceful, or continuous process of imparting information, doctrines, or principles.
