Definition
满城 literally means 'the whole city' and is used as a noun in literary or formal contexts to describe something that covers or affects an entire city. It also appears in the idiom 满城风雨 (the whole city is in turmoil). As a proper noun, 满城 (Mǎn Chéng) refers to Mancheng District in Baoding, Hebei Province. The existing English gloss 'Montreal' is almost certainly an error — it does not correspond to any standard usage.
