The Chinese word 胖 means “fat” or “plump” in English. It is commonly used to describe someone who is overweight or has a larger body size. However, in Chinese culture, being “pàng” is not always seen as a negative thing, as it can also be associated with good health and prosperity. The word can also be used to describe objects that are round or plump in shape.
Translation
