Usage notes

Collocations

含 is often used in the compound 含有 (hányǒu) meaning 'to contain (as an ingredient)'; for abstract containment, 包含 (bāohán) is more common.

Common mistakes

含 means 'to keep in the mouth' (not just 'to contain' for abstract things); for containing ingredients, use 含有 (hányǒu) or 包含 (bāohán).
