About
The Chinese word **盛宴** (shèngyàn) is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where the first character **盛** (shèng), meaning "grand," "flourishing," or "abundant," functions as an intensifying modifier for the second character **宴** (yàn), which means "feast" or "banquet." Together, they create a meaning that is more specific and vivid than either character alone, translating to "a grand feast" or "a sumptuous banquet," where **盛** vividly describes the lavish scale and opulence of the **宴**. This formation follows a common Chinese lexical pattern of an adjective-noun structure to express a complex idea efficiently.
