The Chinese word 铜牌 (tóngpái) for "bronze medal" is a compound of two characters: 铜 (tóng), meaning "copper" or "bronze", and 牌 (pái), meaning "tablet" or "plaque". The character 铜 is a pictograph depicting a vessel made of bronze, while the character 牌 is a phonetic loan character that originally represented the word for "to spread out". Together, the two characters form the compound 铜牌, which literally means "copper tablet" or "bronze plaque". This term is used to refer to the third-place medal awarded in sports competitions, as bronze is the traditional material used for this medal.
