About

The word 墓地 is formed by combining two characters: 墓 (mù), which means "tomb" or "grave", and 地 (dì), which means "land" or "ground". Together, they create a direct and logical concept, the character for the physical structure (the tomb) is placed before the character for the space it occupies (the land), to denote the specific plot of ground designated for burial, effectively meaning "graveyard" or "burial ground".
