About

The word "剧场" is formed by logically combining two meaningful characters: "剧" (jù), which means "drama" or "play", and "场" (chǎng), which means a "place", "site", or "venue". When joined, the first character defines the purpose or content, and the second character defines the type of space, effectively creating a new, compound concept that means "the place for dramas", or more naturally, "theater" or "playhouse". It is a direct semantic fusion where the whole meaning is essentially the sum of its parts.
