About

The Chinese word **引进** (yǐnjìn) is a compound verb formed through the combination of two meaningful characters: **引** (yǐn), which means "to lead" or "to pull," and **进** (jìn), which means "to enter" or "to advance." Together, they create a verb-object relationship where 引 (to lead) acts upon 进 (entering), metaphorically conveying the concept of "leading something in." This results in the modern meaning of "to introduce," "to import," or "to bring in" (e.g., technology, talent, or foreign investment), capturing the process of actively guiding or pulling external things into a new domain.
