How it's used

Used primarily in formal or literary contexts to describe abstract concepts like meaning, emotion, or philosophy. It carries a sense of depth or hidden value that is not immediately obvious, unlike the more neutral or concrete 包含 or 包括. It is rarely used for physical objects or containers.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for physical items like a box or a bag, as it sounds overly dramatic and unnatural. Use 裝住 or 包含 instead for everyday physical contents.
