What does Cangue really mean?

Alright, so "Cangue" is a really interesting word. It's actually a kind of punishment device that was used in some Asian countries. It's like a big wooden board with a hole in the middle where a person's head goes through. And then it's worn around the neck. So, if someone did something wrong, they would have to wear the cangue as a form of punishment. It's kind of like being trapped and unable to move.

The word "cangue" also refers to the actual punishment itself, not just the wooden device. It's a way to restrict someone's movement and make it really hard for them to do anything.

So, imagine if you had to wear a big wooden board around your neck, and you couldn't take it off. You couldn't go anywhere, you couldn't move freely, and you couldn't do things you normally would. That's what cangue means—it's a form of punishment that involves being trapped and restricted because of something wrong you did.

I hope that helps you understand what "cangue" means! Let me know if you have any more questions.
