About

The word "面具" is formed through a direct and logical combination of two meaningful characters: "面" (miàn), which means "face", and "具" (jù), which means "tool" or "implement". When placed together, they create a new, composite concept that literally reads as "face-tool", intuitively representing an object, a mask, that is a tool or apparatus for the face.
