-====== xiūfù: 修复 - To Repair, To Restore ======
-===== Quick Summary =====
-  * **Keywords:** xiufu, 修复, repair Chinese, restore Chinese, fix Chinese, how to say repair in Chinese, xiufu meaning, Chinese verb for restoration, fix a bug Chinese, mend a relationship Chinese.
-  * **Summary:** Learn the versatile Chinese verb **修复 (xiūfù)**, which means "to repair" or "to restore." More than just a simple "fix," `修复` implies a careful and complete process of returning something—whether it's a corrupted computer file, an ancient temple, or a broken relationship—to its original, proper state. This guide covers its meaning, cultural significance, and practical use in modern China.
-===== Core Meaning =====
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** xiū fù
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5
-  * **Concise Definition:** To repair or restore something, often to a complete or original state.
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Think of `修复` as "to restore to wholeness." While the English word "fix" can mean a quick patch-up, `修复` carries a connotation of skill, completeness, and returning an item or situation to its correct, functional form. It's the word you use for bringing a damaged classic car back to mint condition, recovering a corrupted database, or even mending a damaged reputation.
-===== Character Breakdown =====
-  * **修 (xiū):** This character means "to repair," "to build," "to decorate," or even "to cultivate" (as in self-cultivation). The left side is the person radical (亻), indicating an action performed by a human.
-  * **复 (fù):** This character means "to return," "to recover," or "to repeat." It suggests a movement back to a previous state.
-  * Together, **修复 (xiūfù)** literally means "to repair and return." The combination powerfully conveys the idea of actively fixing something to bring it back to its original, proper condition.
-===== Cultural Context and Significance =====
-In Chinese culture, there is a deep-seated respect for history, continuity, and craftsmanship. **修复 (xiūfù)** taps directly into this value system. It's not just about making something work again; it's about honoring its original form and function.
-This is most visible in the meticulous restoration of ancient artifacts, temples (`修复古建筑`), and calligraphy. The goal is not to create something new, but to painstakingly preserve the old. This philosophy emphasizes patience, skill, and a connection to the past.
-A useful comparison is to the Western concepts of "repair" vs. "restore."
-  * **Repair/Fix:** In English, "repair" or "fix" can be very pragmatic and utilitarian. You fix a leaky faucet to stop the dripping. The aesthetic or original state is secondary to the function.
-  * **修复 (xiūfù):** While `修复` can be used for practical things, it often carries the weight of "restoration." It implies a higher level of care. When you `修复` a relationship (`关系`), you're not just patching things over; you're trying to return it to a state of health and trust. This reflects a cultural desire for harmony and completeness over quick, superficial solutions.
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China =====
-`修复` is a common and versatile word used in both technical and abstract contexts.

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes =====
-The most common mistake for learners is not knowing when to use `修复` versus its simpler relatives, `修 (xiū)` and `修理 (xiūlǐ)`.
-  *   **`修复 (xiūfù)` vs. `修理 (xiūlǐ)`:**
-    *   **`修理 (xiūlǐ)`:** This is your go-to word for general, everyday repairs, especially for machines and appliances. It's the word a handyman or mechanic would use. (e.g., `修理电视` - fix the TV, `修理汽车` - repair the car).
-    *   **`修复 (xiūfù)`:** Use this for more complex, technical, or significant restoration. It implies bringing something back to its complete or original state. You `修理` a car's engine, but you might `修复` a totaled classic car. You `修复` a system bug, not `修理`.
-    *   **Incorrect:** `我想请人来修复我的洗衣机。` (I want someone to come and restore my washing machine.)
-    *   **Correct:** `我想请人来修理我的洗衣机。` (I want someone to come and repair my washing machine.)
-  *   **`修复 (xiūfù)` vs. `修 (xiū)`:**
-    *   **`修 (xiū)`:** This is the simplest and most colloquial verb for "to fix." It's often used for smaller, simpler tasks. (e.g., `修一下自行车` - fix the bike, `修鞋` - mend shoes).
-    *   **`修复 (xiūfù)`:** Using `修复` for a simple bike repair would sound overly formal and dramatic, as if you were performing a museum-quality restoration.
-    *   **Incorrect:** `你能帮我修复一下这支笔吗？` (Can you help me restore this pen?)
-    *   **Correct:** `你能帮我修一下这支笔吗？` (Can you help me fix this pen?)
-In short, think of the scale: **修 (simple fix) < 修理 (general repair) < 修复 (complete restoration)**.
-===== Related Terms and Concepts =====
-  * [[修理]] (xiūlǐ) - A very common synonym, but typically used for everyday mechanical repairs of appliances and vehicles.
-  * [[修]] (xiū) - The single-character root of `修复`. Used alone, it's a more colloquial term for a simple "fix."
-  * [[恢复]] (huīfù) - To recover or resume. While `修复` fixes a damaged object, `恢复` is about a state or function returning to normal (e.g., `恢复健康` - to recover health; `恢复秩序` - to restore order).
-  * [[重建]] (chóngjiàn) - To rebuild. This is used when something is completely destroyed and must be built again from scratch, whereas `修复` implies the original item is damaged but still exists.
-  * [[弥补]] (míbǔ) - To make up for; to compensate for. This is used for deficits, losses, or mistakes, not physical damage. (e.g., `弥补损失` - make up for a loss).
-  * [[修补]] (xiūbǔ) - To mend or to patch. This suggests a smaller-scale repair, like darning a sock or patching a small hole in a wall. It lacks the "full restoration" sense of `修复`.
-  * [[挽救]] (wǎnjiù) - To save or rescue. This implies a sense of urgency and preventing a total loss, such as `挽救生命` (save a life) or `挽救一个濒临破产的公司` (save a company on the brink of bankruptcy).
