How it's used
Distinguish between the noun and verb usage by context. As a noun, it typically refers to educational or decorative wall charts, while as a verb phrase, it describes the action of mounting something on a wall. It is more specific than the general verb 掛, which applies to hanging any object.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse the noun usage with the verb phrase. Remember that when used as a noun, it specifically implies a chart or poster rather than a framed painting or photograph, for which 畫 is preferred.
