Definition
封皮 is a noun that refers to the outer covering of something — most commonly a book cover (like the front and back covers of a book) or an envelope. It can also mean a paper wrapping or a paper-strip seal, though the book-cover and envelope senses are the most useful for learners. Think of it as the 'wrapper' or 'jacket' that protects or encloses something.
