ziyi

“Ziyi” most commonly refers to three different things in English-language contexts. Since your query is just the single word “ziyi”, here is a concise, direct overview of the main possibilities so you can immediately see what’s relevant to you.

## 1. Zhang Ziyi (章子怡) – Chinese Actress

Who she is

If by “ziyi” you mean a famous person, it is almost certainly Zhang Ziyi.

## 2. “Ziyi” as a Chinese Given Name

“Ziyi” is also a Chinese given name, typically romanizing combinations like 子怡, 子仪, 子义, 子艺, 子翼, etc. The exact meaning depends on the Chinese characters used.

From one reference on Chinese names [2]:

- 子 (zǐ) – usually means “child,” sometimes “son,” and can also imply “person of high moral character” or a respectful title like “Master.”
- Common second characters paired with 子 include:
  - 怡 (yí) – “joy, harmony.”
  - 仪 (yí) – “ceremony, rites,” often extended to “demeanor, bearing.”
  - 义 (yì) – “justice, righteousness.”
  - 艺 (yì) – “art, talent, craft.”
  - 翼 (yì) – “wing.”

So depending on the characters, “Ziyi” can mean things like:

- 子怡 – “joyful child,” “child of harmony.”
- 子仪 – “child of proper conduct/ceremony.”
- 子义 – “child of righteousness.”
- 子艺 – “child of talent/art.”
- 子翼 – “child with wings,” often implying protection or support.

In everyday use, it’s often chosen as a modern, elegant-sounding unisex name with positive, aspirational meanings centered on joy, virtue, talent, or good character.

## 3. Ziyi – Character in the Avatar Universe

In the Avatar franchise’s extended universe (e.g., comics/expanded materials), Ziyi is:

- An outlaw and adventurer from the Earth Kingdom.
- She travels with comrades after the Hundred Year War, trying to protect her new home Linsho and her friends from harm [3].

If you encountered “Ziyi” in an Avatar-related context, it is likely this character.

## How to Use This Information

Since your query was just “ziyi”, here’s how to quickly align this with your likely intent:

- If you meant a celebrity: You’re probably looking for Zhang Ziyi, the Beijing‑born actress famous for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha.
- If you meant a name meaning: “Ziyi” is a Chinese given name whose meaning depends on the characters, often along the lines of “joyful child,” “righteous child,” or “talented child.”
- If you meant a fictional character: In Avatar lore, Ziyi is an Earth Kingdom outlaw-heroine connected with post‑war adventures.

If you tell me which of these you care about (actress, name meaning, or character), I can give a more focused, detailed answer next.
