The Chinese word 笑容 (xiào róng) for "smile" is composed of two characters: 笑 (xiào), meaning "to laugh" or "to smile", and 容 (róng), meaning "face" or "appearance". The character 笑 is a pictograph depicting a person with a wide mouth and two curved lines representing laughter. The character 容 is a combination of the characters 肉 (ròu), meaning "meat" or "flesh", and 从 (cóng), meaning "to follow" or "to obey". Together, the two characters 笑 and 容 form the word 笑容, which literally means "the appearance of laughing" or "the expression of a smile".
