师长

• 拼音: shī zhǎng
• 汉字拆解: 师 = 巾 + 帀 (teacher, army division); 长 = 丨 + ㇒ (elder, chief, to grow)

含义

Teachers and elders; one's mentors and superiors. Also: a division commander in the military.

In civilian life, 师长 refers collectively to teachers, mentors, and respected elders who have guided one's growth. In military contexts, it is a formal rank title (division commander, 师级指挥官). The term carries deep respect in Confucian-influenced culture, where teacher-student relationships are treated as quasi-familial bonds.
