About
The word "生态" is formed by combining the character "生", meaning "life" or "living", with the character "态", meaning "state" or "condition". This union creates a compound that literally translates to "the state of living" and is used to denote the interrelationships between organisms and their surroundings, thus conveying the concept of ecology.
