About

The word 晚饭 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 晚 (wǎn), which means "evening" or "night", and 饭 (fàn), which means "cooked rice" or more broadly "a meal". Together, they create a compound where the first element specifies the time and the second element specifies the object, resulting in the straightforward literal concept of "evening meal".
