character 郎 (láng) primarily denotes a young man or gentleman, and can also refer to an official or minister in historical contexts. It is often used in compound words to imply a certain status or role, such as in '郎中' (lángzhōng) meaning a physician or '新郎' (xīnláng) meaning groom.","Imagine a young man (郎) wearing a long robe, symbolizing both youth and the role of an official. The character has a roof radical (阝) suggesting a place of authority, and the pronunciation 'láng' can be remembered by linking it to 'long,' as in the long journey of a young man becoming an official.","郎 (láng) is often used in formal contexts, particularly when referring to gentlemen or young men. Common mistakes include confusing it with similar sounding characters like 狼 (láng, wolf) and using it in informal contexts where other words might be more appropriate, such as 小伙子 (xiǎohuǒzi) for a young man.","This character is not included in the HSK vocabulary lists but is useful for learners aiming for higher proficiency. Students should focus on its use in compounds and connections to other characters that denote status or roles.","In traditional Chinese weddings, the groom is referred to as 新郎 (xīnláng), signifying his role and status in the ceremony, which reflects the importance of formal titles in Chinese culture.","In Western cultures, the term 'groom' is straightforwardly used without the additional nuance of status that '郎' carries in Chinese, where it implies societal roles.",[653,656],{"a":654,"q":655},"Common expressions include 新郎 (xīnláng, groom) and 郎中 (lángzhōng, physician), both indicating specific roles.","What are some common expressions using '郎'?",{"a":657,"q":658},"'郎' is still used today, especially in formal contexts or in compounds, but is less common in everyday conversation.","Is '郎' used in modern Chinese?","Learners often confuse 郎 (láng) with other characters that sound similar, such as 狼 (láng). For example, saying '他是个狼' (tā shì gè láng) instead of '他是个郎' (tā shì gè láng) when referring to a young man is incorrect.","小伙 (xiǎohuǒ) - use 郎 (láng) for a more formal or respectful tone, while 小伙 (xiǎohuǒ) is more casual.","2026-03-24T08:32:37.000Z",{"title":20,"description":20,"og_image":20},{"es":664,"fr":665,"ja":666,"ko":667,"vi":668},"El término 'lang' se refiere a un joven o un funcionario, y también puede usarse como prefijo que denota función.","Le terme 'lang' désigne un jeune homme ou un fonctionnaire, et il peut également être utilisé comme préfixe indiquant une fonction.","郎（ろう）は、青年や若者を指す言葉であり、または官職を示す接頭辞としても使われます。","랑(양)은 젊은이 또는 청년을 나타내며, 관직을 나타내는 접두사로도 사용됩니다.","Từ 'lang' chỉ một thanh niên hoặc một quan chức, và cũng có thể được sử dụng như một tiền tố chỉ chức năng.",[],[],"/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-0/%E9%83%8E-lang2/",{"hanzi":7,"pinyin":221,"tone":223,"tone_class":224,"first_gloss":326,"hsk_level":20,"radical":37,"stroke_count":35,"audio_url":228,"word_family":673,"slug":6},[7,436,440,446,450],[675,678,681],{"name":676,"url":677},"Dictionary","/chinese-dictionary/",{"name":679,"url":680},"HSK 1","/chinese-dictionary/hsk-1/",{"name":7,"url":671},{"senses":23,"pronunciations":10,"examples":576,"compounds":572,"words_with":683,"confusables":209,"flashcards":209,"quizzes":209,"checkpoints":35},20,{"defined_term":685,"learning_resource":694,"breadcrumb_list":704,"faq_page":712},{"@context":686,"@type":687,"name":7,"description":326,"inLanguage":688,"inDefinedTermSet":689,"url":693},"https://schema.org","DefinedTerm","zh",{"@type":690,"name":691,"url":692},"DefinedTermSet","HSK 1 Vocabulary","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/hsk-1/","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-0/%E9%83%8E-lang2/",{"@context":686,"@type":695,"name":696,"description":697,"educationalLevel":679,"teaches":698,"inLanguage":699,"learningResourceType":701,"isAccessibleForFree":227,"url":693},"LearningResource","郎 (láng) — HSK 1 Chinese","Chinese 郎 (láng): (arch.) minister.
