The character 厂 (chǎng) primarily means 'factory' or 'plant' in modern Mandarin. It refers to a place where goods are manufactured or assembled. Although originally it can mean 'cliff' as a radical or in classical contexts, in everyday use it almost always relates to industrial or production sites.
When used alone, 厂 usually implies a factory or manufacturing site. It is often combined with other words to specify the type of factory or the area related to production. It is a noun and appears as the subject or object in sentences. Avoid confusing 厂 with the similar-sounding 厅 (tīng), which means 'hall' or 'office.'
Register and Tone
