澡盆

澡盆 refers to a small, portable bathtub, typically used for bathing in homes or temporary living situations. Unlike a standard built-in bathtub, it is usually made of plastic or metal and can be easily moved or stored.

The character 澡 (zǎo) means 'to bathe' or 'bath,' while 盆 (pén) means 'bowl' or 'basin.' Together, they form a term that literally translates to 'bathing bowl,' emphasizing its function as a container for bathing water.

澡盆 is commonly used in Chinese households, especially in areas where space is limited or where people prefer a more flexible bathing solution. It is also popular among travelers or those staying in temporary accommodations. The term is often used in contexts related to daily hygiene and home furnishings.
