The Chinese word 广场 (guǎngchǎng) is composed of two characters: 广 (guǎng) and 场 (chǎng). The character 广 originally meant "wide" or "vast," and was often used to describe open spaces. The character 场 originally meant "place" or "ground," and was often used to refer to a specific location. When combined, the two characters 广场 (guǎngchǎng) literally mean "wide place" or "open space." This compound word is used to refer to a public square or plaza, which is a large, open area that is typically used for public gatherings or events.
