Definition
摆放 (bǎifàng) means to arrange or display physical objects in a tidy, deliberate way — putting items in their proper place (e.g., on a shelf or table). Unlike 安排 (for events/schedules) or 排列 (for sequential order), 摆放 focuses on spatial placement. It is more specific than the simpler 摆 (bǎi), which can also mean 'to sway' or 'to put on airs'.
