Definition
笼子 (lóng zi) refers to a cage (for animals) or a woven basket (for carrying items). Unlike 筐 (kuāng), which is only a basket (typically open-topped for produce), 笼子 can also mean an enclosed cage. It is more specific than 容器 (róng qì), which is any container or receptacle.
noun
cagebasket (woven container)
