About

The word 上场 is formed by combining the character 上, meaning "to go up" or "to ascend", with the character 场, meaning a "stage", "field", or "arena". It is a direct spatial and conceptual compound: the action of "going up" or "onto" a specific designated "space" or "platform". This creates the core literal image of stepping onto a stage or entering a field of activity, from which its various meanings of beginning a performance or participating in a game or event are derived.
