About

The word 搬家 is formed by combining two characters: 搬 (bān), which means "to move or transport", and 家 (jiā), which means "home or household". Together, they create a vivid conceptual compound where the action of moving is directly applied to the object of one's home, literally picturing the act of "moving house" from one location to another.
