About

The word "名单" (míngdān) is formed through a direct and logical combination of two meaningful building blocks: the character "名" meaning "name" or "famous", and the character "单" meaning "list" or "sheet". By placing them together, the concept is constructed visually and conceptually as a "name-list" or a "list of names", where the first character defines the content and the second defines the container or format, creating a single, concrete unit of meaning.
