Tips

culture
坎普 transliterates English 'Camp' (or German 'Kamp', Dutch 'Kemp'): 坎 (kǎn) approximates 'Cam-' and 普 (pǔ) the '-p'. As an aesthetic term it borrows from Susan Sontag's 1964 essay 'Notes on Camp' (关于坎普的札记), and gained Chinese-internet currency around the 2019 Met Gala theme 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' (坎普：时尚笔记). The surname sense covers footballers, filmmakers, and other public figures.
