Definition
村庄 (cūn zhuāng) specifically refers to a village as a small settlement of houses. It is more concrete than 农村 (nóng cūn), which means 'rural area' or 'countryside' in a broader sense, and 乡村 (xiāng cūn), which is a more formal or literary term for the countryside. 村 (cūn) is the shorter, more general word for 'village' and is often used as a suffix (e.g., 村庄 itself).
