神圣

Meaning of 神圣

神圣 (shénshèng) means sacred and divine — 神 (spirit, deity) and 圣 (holy, sage). Used to translate both the Christian "holy" and the Buddhist "sacred."

To say Sacred in Chinese, pronounce 神圣 as Shén shèng. The marks over the letters show the tones — the pitch contour that distinguishes Mandarin syllables.
