About

The word 登场 is formed by combining the character 登 (dēng), which means "to ascend" or "to step onto", with the character 场 (chǎng), which means "a stage", "an arena", or "a public space". The literal, visual concept created is that of "ascending onto the stage". This concrete image then naturally extends to its figurative meanings, such as making an entrance, debuting, or coming into a situation, as if one has stepped into the spotlight of a defined setting.
