About
The word "圣诞节" (Shèngdàn Jié) for "Christmas" is formed by combining three meaningful characters: "圣" (shèng) meaning "holy" or "saint", "诞" (dàn) meaning "birth", and "节" (jié) meaning "festival" or "holiday". It is thus a direct conceptual translation, building the term from the idea of a "holy birth festival" to represent the Western holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.
