Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/書腰 vs 腹带
(publishing) belly band (paper sash around a book, outside the dust jacket) · Different everyday word
Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 書腰; on the Mainland it is 腹带 - both point at “(publishing) belly band (paper sash around a book, outside the dust jacket)”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 書腰、腹帶 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
