Definition
原封 literally means 'original seal' — the seal on a package or container that has never been broken. In daily use you'll almost always encounter it in the fixed phrase 原封不动 (yuán fēng bú dòng), which means 'completely unchanged, untouched, in its original state'. When used alone, it usually carries that same sense of being intact and unaltered.
noun
original seal or wrapper on an itemextended sense: the state of being untouched / unchanged
