-====== gòngyíng: 共赢 - Win-Win, Mutual Benefit ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +
-  * **Keywords:** gongying, gong ying, gòngyíng, 共赢, win-win in Chinese, Chinese word for mutual benefit, cooperation in Chinese, business Chinese win-win, 合作共赢, shuangying, 双赢, Chinese diplomacy. +
-  * **Summary:** Discover the deep meaning of **共赢 (gòngyíng)**, the essential Chinese concept of "win-win" or "mutual benefit." More than just a business buzzword, gòngyíng reflects a cultural ideal of achieving shared success through collaboration and harmony. This page explores its character origins, its vital role in modern Chinese business and diplomacy, and how you can use it to build stronger relationships and achieve truly cooperative outcomes. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** gòngyíng +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb / Adjective / Noun +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To achieve a mutually beneficial outcome through joint effort; a win-win situation. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** Gòngyíng is the idea that the best outcomes are created when everyone involved benefits. It's the opposite of a zero-sum game where one person's gain is another's loss. Think of it as "winning together." This concept is a cornerstone of modern Chinese thinking, applied to everything from business partnerships to international relations, emphasizing long-term collaboration over short-term competition. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **共 (gòng):** This character means "together," "common," or "shared." You can picture it as two hands (廾) holding something up together, representing a shared effort or object. +
-  * **赢 (yíng):** This character means "to win" or "to profit." It's a complex character that historically incorporates elements related to value and exchange, including the radical for "shell/money" (贝, bèi). +
-  * **Combined Meaning:** The logic is straightforward and powerful: **共 (together) + 赢 (to win) = to win together.** It creates a single, potent concept of shared victory and mutual prosperity. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-  * **Core Philosophy:** **共赢 (gòngyíng)** is deeply rooted in Chinese cultural values that prioritize harmony (和谐, héxié) and collective well-being. It stands in contrast to a more individualistic, "winner-takes-all" mindset. The belief is that sustainable success is built on relationships where all parties feel they are gaining value, leading to trust and long-term cooperation. It's a key principle in building and maintaining good [[关系]] (guānxi). +
-  * **Comparison to Western "Win-Win":** While the English term "win-win" is a direct translation, the cultural emphasis differs slightly. In the West, "win-win" often emerges from negotiation theory (e.g., "Getting to Yes"), focusing on finding a clever compromise to close a deal. **共赢 (gòngyíng)** in the Chinese context often implies a deeper, more philosophical commitment. It's not just about dividing a pie, but about working together to //bake a bigger pie//. It suggests an ongoing partnership and co-creation of value, rather than a one-time transactional agreement. +
-  * **Political Slogan:** You will frequently hear Chinese leaders use **共赢** in speeches about international relations, especially regarding initiatives like the Belt and Road. It's used to frame China's foreign policy as cooperative and non-hegemonic, promising shared development and prosperity for all participating nations. +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-  * **In Business:** This is arguably where **共赢** is used most. It's a cornerstone of business negotiations, proposals, and corporate values. The phrase **合作共赢 (hézuò gòngyíng)**, meaning "cooperate for a win-win result," is extremely common. It signals a desire for a long-term partnership rather than a quick, exploitative deal. +
-  * **In Diplomacy:** As mentioned, it's a staple of Chinese political language. It's used to describe ideal relationships between countries, economic zones, and international organizations. +
-  * **In Personal Life:** While less common than in business, it can be used to describe a healthy, balanced relationship (in romance, friendship, or family) where both individuals support each other's growth and happiness. +
-  * **Formality & Connotation:** The term carries a formal and overwhelmingly positive connotation. Using it shows you are a serious, fair-minded person who thinks about mutual benefit. +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **"Win-Win" vs. 共赢:** Be aware that **共赢** implies a more profound, relationship-based collaboration than the English "win-win" sometimes does. If you simply negotiated a good price on a car, you wouldn't call it **共赢**. That's just a successful transaction. **共赢** is for situations involving partnership, joint ventures, or building something together. +
-  * **Sincerity is Key:** Because **共赢** is such a positive and powerful word, using it insincerely can backfire. If you propose a "win-win" solution that clearly benefits you far more than the other party, you may be seen as manipulative or disingenuous. It must be backed by a genuine spirit of mutual benefit. +
-  * **Incorrect Usage:** +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我今天买到了打折的牛奶，真是**共赢**！(Wǒ jīntiān mǎi dàole dǎzhé de niúnǎi, zhēnshi **gòngyíng**!) -> "I bought milk on sale today, it's really a win-win!" +
-    * **Why it's wrong:** This is a one-way transaction. You won, but the supermarket was just conducting business. There was no collaboration or shared goal. It's more appropriate to just say you got a good deal (占了便宜, zhànle piányi). +
-===== Related Terms and Concepts ===== +
