The Chinese word 书包 (shūbāo) for "schoolbag" is a compound of two characters: 书 (shū), meaning "book", and 包 (bāo), meaning "bag" or "package". The word 书包 is therefore literally translated as "book bag". This term is commonly used in Chinese-speaking countries and regions to refer to the bags that students carry to school to hold their books, notebooks, and other school supplies.
