This page breaks down how to use this term when buying electronics, cars, or appliances in China, explaining the cultural context of consumer rights and the crucial difference between **保修 (bǎoxiū)** and a general promise. Understand your rights and navigate after-sales service like a pro. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** bǎoxiū +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb / Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To guarantee to keep a product in good repair (for free, within a specified period). +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **保修 (bǎoxiū)** is the promise from a seller or manufacturer that if the product you bought breaks down due to a quality issue, they will fix it for you free of charge. Think of it as the "repair" part of a warranty. It's not a vague promise of quality; it's a specific, actionable guarantee of service. This term is fundamental to any major purchase in modern China. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **保 (bǎo):** To protect, to keep, or to guarantee. You can think of this character as representing a person (亻, a variant of 人) protecting something precious or guaranteeing its safety. +
-  * **修 (xiū):** To repair, to fix, or to mend. This character shows a person (亻) engaged in an activity (攸) of fixing or embellishing something. +
-  * When combined, **保修 (bǎoxiū)** literally means "guarantee repair." The meaning is transparent and practical: a promise to fix things. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While the concept of a warranty is universal, **保修 (bǎoxiū)** in China is deeply connected to a specific legal and cultural framework known as **三包 (sānbāo)**, or the "Three Guarantees." This is a state-mandated consumer protection policy that gives buyers concrete rights. +
-The **三包 (sānbāo)** policy legally entitles consumers to: +
-  * **包修 (bāoxiū):** Guaranteed repair (our target word). +
-  * **包换 (bāohuàn):** Guaranteed replacement (if it can't be repaired or fails multiple times). +
-  * **包退 (bāotuì):** Guaranteed return/refund (usually for major faults within a short period after purchase). +
-In the West, a "warranty" can be a vague term, and the options (repair, replace, refund) might be at the company's discretion. In China, the **三包** policy provides a clearer, legally-backed hierarchy of solutions. Therefore, when you hear **保修 (bǎoxiū)**, you should understand it as the first and most common step in a robust, nationwide system of consumer rights that has become a cornerstone of China's modern market economy. To claim your warranty, you will almost always need your **发票 (fāpiào)**, or official receipt. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-You will encounter **保修 (bǎoxiū)** constantly in any retail environment, especially for big-ticket items. +
-  * **In a Store:** When buying a phone, laptop, washing machine, or car, one of the first questions you might ask is about the warranty period. +
-  * **At a Service Center:** If a product breaks, you'll visit a customer service or repair center and say your item is "within the warranty period" (**在保修期内 (zài bǎoxiū qī nèi)**) to get a free repair. +
-  * **On Receipts and Packaging:** The warranty terms are often printed on the official receipt (**发票 fāpiào**) or in the product manual. +
-The term is transactional and neutral in tone. It's a standard part of business and consumer vocabulary. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-The most common mistake for learners is confusing **保修 (bǎoxiū)** with **保证 (bǎozhèng)**. +
-  *   **保修 (bǎoxiū) = Guarantee to REPAIR (for products):** This is specific, limited to fixing a physical object that has broken down. +
-  *   **保证 (bǎozhèng) = Guarantee, to Promise (general):** This is a very broad term. You can use it to promise almost anything. +
-**Example of incorrect usage:** +
-  *   Incorrect: 我**保修**明天会准时到。(I guarantee to repair that I will be on time tomorrow.) -> This makes no sense. +
-  *   Correct: 我**保证**明天会准时到。(I **guarantee** I will be on time tomorrow.) +
-**Example of correct usage in context:** +
-  *   Correct: 这台冰箱**保修**三年。(This fridge has a three-year **warranty (for repair)**.) +
-  *   Correct: 我**保证**这台冰箱的质量很好。(I **guarantee/promise** that this fridge's quality is very good.) -> This is a general statement of quality, not a specific service promise. +
-Think of it this way: a company makes a **保证 (bǎozhèng)** about its product's quality, and they fulfill that promise with a **保修 (bǎoxiū)** service if the product fails. +
