Definition
缝 (fèng) as a noun means a narrow opening: a crack in a wall, a gap in a door, or a seam where two pieces of cloth are joined. It differs from 裂缝 (liè fèng), which emphasizes a crack that has developed in a solid surface, and from 裂痕 (liè hén), which is a finer crack or a rift in relationships. 缝 is the most general word for a slit or seam.
