The Chinese word 晚报 (wǎnbào) means "evening newspaper". It is composed of two characters: 晚 (wǎn), meaning "evening", and 报 (bào), meaning "newspaper". The word 晚报 first appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, when newspapers began to be published in the evening. Before that, newspapers were only published in the morning. The word 晚报 quickly became popular, and it is now the most common word for "evening newspaper" in Chinese.The character 晚 (wǎn) is a pictograph of a person sleeping on a bed. The character 报 (bào) is a pictograph of a person holding a piece of paper. The combination of these two characters creates the meaning of "evening newspaper".The word 晚报 is used in both mainland China and Taiwan. In mainland China, 晚报 is the most common word for "evening newspaper". In Taiwan, 晚报 is also used, but it is less common than the word 晚間報 (wǎnjiān bào).
