About
The word 地方 is formed conceptually by combining two fundamental characters: 地 (dì), meaning "earth" or "ground", and 方 (fāng), meaning "square", "direction", or "region". It originates from the ancient Chinese conception of the world, where the earth (地) was perceived as a vast, flat, and divisible plane, and a "square" (方) represented a specific, bounded area or locality within it. Thus, their combination naturally evokes the idea of a defined physical space, a specific place, area, or territory on the earth.
