How it's used
Refers specifically to insulated containers designed to keep liquids hot or cold for extended periods. While standard cups or bottles are simply called 杯 or 水樽, this term is essential for distinguishing the functional, double-walled variety. It is common to see office workers or students carrying these daily to ensure they have access to warm water throughout the day.
