The Chinese word 房东 (fángdōng) is composed of two characters: 房 (fáng), meaning "house" or "room", and 东 (dōng), meaning "east" or "master". The term 房东 literally translates to "master of the house" or "landlord". In ancient China, the east was considered the most auspicious direction, and the owner of a house was often referred to as the "master of the east". Over time, the term 房东 became the standard way to refer to a landlord in Chinese.
