About
The word 宝藏 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core idea to create a unified concept. The first character, 宝 (bǎo), originally depicted jade and other valuable shells stored under a roof, representing "treasure" or something precious. The second, 藏 (cáng), originally illustrated weapons hidden in grass, conveying the meaning "to conceal, store, or hoard". Together, they visually and conceptually merge to mean "hidden treasure" or "a stored hoard of valuables", painting a complete picture of precious things that have been accumulated and kept out of sight.
