圆形

• 拼音: yuán xíng
• 汉字拆解: 圆 = 囗 + 员 (enclosure + round vessel — a round container, hence circle/round); 形 = 开 + 彡 (spread/open + three strokes indicating shape/form)

含义

Circular shape; circle; round form. A geometric shape that is perfectly round, or an object or space characterised by this shape.

圆形 is the general term for a circular shape, broader than 圆 (circle as a mathematical object). Used in geometry, design, architecture, and everyday description. 圆形广场 (circular plaza), 圆形剧场 (amphitheatre/circular theatre), and 圆形建筑 (circular building) are common compounds. In Chinese cultural symbolism, circular shapes are associated with completeness, harmony, and heaven (天圆地方 — heaven is round, earth is square).
