Definition
包含 means 'to contain, to include' and is a general verb for something being part of a whole. It is broader than 包括 (bāo kuò), which tends to list specific items or components explicitly. Unlike the more literary 含 (hán), 包含 is used in everyday speech and writing for both concrete and abstract contents.
