The Chinese word 云 means “cloud”. It is commonly used to describe the fluffy, white masses in the sky. However, it can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is vague or unclear, as in the phrase “云里雾里”, which means “in a state of confusion”. Additionally, the word 云 is often used in Chinese poetry and literature to evoke a sense of beauty and mystique.
