About

The Chinese word "校园" is formed by combining two individual characters: "校", which means "school" or "educational institution", and "园", which means "garden" or "park". Together, they create a compound word that literally translates to "school garden", conceptually representing the physical grounds or environment of a school, akin to a cultivated space for learning and growth, hence commonly understood as "campus". This formation relies on the semantic blending of the two characters to evoke the idea of an institution's designated area, much like a garden that nurtures and surrounds the academic activities within.
