About
The Chinese word 全场 (quán chǎng) is a compound noun formed by combining the character 全 (quán), meaning "whole" or "entire", with the character 场 (chǎng), meaning "venue", "site", or "field". Together, they create a meaning that is the sum of their parts: "the whole venue" or "the entire scene". It functions as a noun phrase that can serve as the subject or object in a sentence (e.g., "全场鼓掌" – the entire audience applauded) and can also act as an adverbial phrase meaning "throughout the venue" (e.g., "全场欢呼" – cheers rang out across the venue). This formation follows the common Chinese syntactic pattern of a modifier (全) preceding the thing being modified (场), resulting in a precise and widely used term, especially in contexts like events, sports, and performances.
