Why is the start-up of a plant called \"commencing operation\", while its shutdown is called \"shutting down\"? Where does this term originate from?

Personally, I think it can only be described as being somewhat illustrative, without any specific meaning.

Why is it called a workshop? No car? ? Do you get it? ?

The plant is also known as a workshop; when the plant starts operating, it means the workshop has begun operations, in other words, it’s up and running.

Driving: It refers to the specific action of starting up, activating, or putting a production process or equipment into operation (the term \"car\" is used here for illustrative purposes); this action can be repeated multiple times. The corresponding English term is \"Start-up\", which also means to initiate something.
