“围” can be used as a verb, often followed by the object to be surrounded. For example, “围了一个圈” (Surrounded in a circle). (Usage in grammar)
In Chinese culture, the concept of "surrounding" is often related to unity and protection. For example, in some traditional festivals, people may sit around a table to have a meal together. (Related cultural background)
