-===== Quick Summary ===== +

-  * **Summary:** Learn the essential Chinese word **入口 (rùkǒu)**, which means "entrance," "entryway," or "way in." This versatile term is found everywhere in China, from subway signs and building entrances to its modern use in computing as an "entry point" or "input." Discover its figurative meanings, including the "mouthfeel" of food and the "gateway" to a new skill, making **入口 (rùkǒu)** a fundamental word for any beginner learner to master. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** rùkǒu +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 3 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** A place for entering, such as a doorway or gate; an interface for input or the start of a process. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **入口 (rùkǒu)** is a highly practical and literal word. It combines the characters for "to enter" and "opening/mouth" to mean "entrance." You'll see it on signs all over China pointing you where to go in. Beyond physical places, it's used metaphorically for the starting point of an experience, like the initial taste of food or the login page of a website. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **入 (rù):** This character is a pictograph that looks like a wedge or arrow pointing downwards and inwards. It means "to enter" or "to go into." +
-  * **口 (kǒu):** This character is a simple pictogram of an open mouth. By extension, it means any kind of "opening," "hole," or "entrance." +
-  * **Combined Meaning:** When you put **入 (rù - to enter)** and **口 (kǒu - opening)** together, you get **入口 (rùkǒu)**, the "entering opening"—a very logical and easy-to-remember word for "entrance." +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While **入口 (rùkǒu)** itself isn't a deeply philosophical term like [[关系]] (guānxi), its widespread use reflects modern China's rapid development. The clear labeling of entrances for subways, malls, and public facilities with **入口** is a sign of a society built for efficiency and public navigation. +
-In a cultural sense, it's a very functional, almost sterile term compared to the more traditional and aesthetically rich word for a gate, [[门]] (mén). A grand temple might have a beautiful **门 (mén)**, but the functional point where you scan your ticket is the **入口 (rùkǒu)**. This contrast highlights the difference between a physical object (a door/gate) and its function (an entrance). +
-Furthermore, the concept of "what enters the mouth" is culturally significant in China, as captured by the famous proverb **病从口入 (bìng cóng kǒu rù)** - "sickness enters through the mouth." While this proverb uses the characters of **入口** separately, it reinforces the cultural importance of the "kǒu" (mouth/opening) as a gateway, whether for food, illness, or information. +

-    * //Correct:// `这个入口是开着的。 (Zhège rùkǒu shì kāi zhe de.)` +
